About Danbury, CT

Deepened by the cultural influence and flavor of larger urban areas within a 30-60 minute commute for most individuals, Danbury is a suburban bedroom community of significant opportunity. Its history was defined by the hat industry of the 1800s which gave rise to a generation that went on to spawn its own successful and world-wide renown business and industrial base during the 1900s through the current period. Rich in its own art and music heritage, Danbury was home to the great composer Ives and the celebrated opera singer Marian Anderson. The area and its region is now home to some of the most recognizable Grammy nominated artists of our time.

The city is the gateway to Northern Fairfield County to the hills of the soothing Northwest corner and has a direct path each leads to the industrialized areas of Southern Fairfield County & Central Connecticut and West to New York. Its residents enjoy a mix of some of the best private and public schools in Connecticut along with a leading edge hospital.

Mixing well with the beautiful stately summer homes of legendary hat industry titans, old New England charm clapboard homes, summer cottages and permanent residences of Connecticut’s largest lake – Candlewood are new construction by famed area architects. Danbury’s in-city park – Tarrywile is unique in its ability to bring a pastoral balance to the bustling City Center and provide some of the most beautiful wedding settings for area brides.
