Our own Shelton CT- Bloomberg Businessweek's "Best Affordable Suburb"!

Congratulations to the city of Shelton Connecticut! Once a year Bloomberg  Businessweek rates hundreds of towns and communities on a "livability index",  which include community population, median household income, housing costs, diversity, open space, proximity to a major city, personal  and property crime rates, education test scores, job growth, unemployment rate, and average commuter time. I should mention that not only did Shelton come in number 1 in the state of Connecticut for its class in 2010, but also got this distinctive honor in 2009 as well. If you are unfamiliar with Shelton, let me enlighten you with some information about the city:

Shelton, Connecticut
Incorporated in 1789
31 Square Miles
Elevation 130 feet
14,500 Households
79% owner occupied
19.9% of housing stock built prior to 1950
38,800 Residents

The City of Shelton is located along the Housatonic River at the northern tip of Fairfield County. Shelton's rich and diversified history begins with the town becoming one of Connecticut's early industrial cities. Most of this growth came about upon the completion of the Housatonic Dam in 1870. As one of Connecticut's fastest growing cities today, Shelton exhibits a pride in its past and great promise for the future. This is a rare city that boasts the lowest property tax in the general region. Maybe part of the reason for these low taxes is industry and business. There are a few stretches of road with many office buildings chock full of companies who pay for a good part of the town's budget.

But don't be fooled---this really is farm country, too. You can very easily pass by numerous working farms scattered throughout the Huntington or White Hills sections without even trying to find them. A personal favorite of mine is Jones' farm where you can pick your own strawberries. There is lots of recreation available here, too. Being on the Housatonic River comes with many benefits, including Indian Well State Park, just a mile or so above the downtown section, which offers swimming, boating, fishing and picnicking. The Trap falls reservoir is a panorama of beauty and so are many of the neighborhoods. This is not a traditional city, as you may know it, so come explore!
