Suburban living with proximity to New York
A vibrant cultural center, Downtown Danbury is a historic district with various local shops, restaurants and art venues. "Downtown Danbury is a melting pot," says Arnold Finaldi, chairman of the Danbury Planning Commission. Area residents can enjoy access to community events, several recreational facilities and green spaces, as well as abundant cultural performances like concerts, film screenings, comedy and live shows. Perhaps most importantly, Downtown Danbury is within reasonably close vicinity of New York City. “Danbury is attracting lots of New York homebuyers for its proximity and easy commute to New York. This is a growing and diverse city, and Downtown Danbury now has more upscale housing, shops and business offices,” says Marie Borner, a local Realtor at Coldwell Banker Realty with 29 years of experience.
Residential homes in Downtown Danbury
While there are several modern apartment and townhouse communities available for rent in Downtown Danbury, most properties around or on Main Street are a mix of retail storefronts with residential flats on the upper floors that range from $350,000 to over $1 million. Homes that are a bit removed from the commercial center are usually priced between $350,000 and $700,000, and feature shingle-style houses with wrapped porches, Foursquares, split levels, Colonial Revivals, Queen Annes and occasional Cape Cods. “More people can work remotely now and the taxes here are considerably much lower than in the city. The demand for housing in Danbury is high but stock is very limited, and there is almost no inventory,” Borner says.
