A short walk away from Danbury’s amenities
A small section of Danbury, Germantown is a mix of residential and commercial buildings just off the interstate. Here, quiet Cape Cods and bungalows are a short walk away from various schools, ranging from the local middle school to the campus of Western Connecticut State University. Residents are also a short walk from one of the larger employers in the area, Bradbury Hospital, and the numerous popular eateries surrounding the neighborhood. While it is a short drive to reach the excitement of the city center or local parks, locals enjoy a quiet and serene environment that combines the best of urban and suburban amenities. “Everything is very close by,” says Alessandra Casiello, the innovation and sustainability librarian at the Danbury Library who has lived in the area for over four years. “It is only a 20-minute drive to get from one end of the city to the other.”
Germantown has plenty of Cape Cod-style homes

Quiet Cape Cods and bungalows by Germantown Road
In Germantown, homebuyers generally find modest Cape Cods with concrete walkups alongside tidy bungalows and ranch-style homes. Lawns tend to be smaller and well-kept in Germantown, with many homes also having garages on the side for extra storage space. Prices in the area typically range from $380,000 to $700,000, with the more expensive homes in the area being closer to Western Connecticut State University. Although the residential streets do not have sidewalks, the quiet atmosphere of the neighborhood allows residents to still take a calm stroll in the morning and evening.

Athletic and aquatic fun in Danbury
Germantown residents are just a quick drive from popular parks in the Danbury area. To the north, Candlewood Park rests along the shores of Lower Pine Cove and offers a beach, two playsets and a sand volleyball court popular in the warmer months of the year. “Lots of city events happen here,” Casiello says. “There are outdoor movie nights in the fall.” Locals can also head south to Rogers Park, home to a number of sports fields often used by athletes of all ages in the spring and summer that are “frequented by ice cream trucks,” Casiello says.
There's no better place to be than the Candlewood Lake in Danbury.

Danbury Public Schools and local universities
Students begin their academic journey at Hayestown Avenue School, which earns a C rating on Niche.

Food trucks and fun in the city center
Residents of Germantown are just a quick trip from the excitement in the heart of Danbury. Locals can relax on the greenery of the city center at Downtown Chow-Down, a “weekly food truck and concert event in the spring and summer,” Casiello says. Locals can also stop by and enjoy the Danbury Street Festival, a pedestrian-only event each June that is “full of vendors and food trucks that line the street,” Casiello says. For year-round education and fun, the Danbury Railway Museum is open by the city center on weekends. It offers a restored train station full of artifacts and a rail yard with over 60 pieces of historic railroad equipment.
I-84 and commuter rails
Much like the rest of Danbury, Germantown offers plenty of options to get around quickly and easily. Interstate 84 lines the neighborhood's northern end and provides commuters with an easy route to the greater Danbury area. The Danbury commuter rail station is also near the neighborhood and offers an alternative to driving to local cities like Norwalk or a bit farther into Manhattan. For trips unreachable by car or train, the Westchester County Airport is 35 miles southwest of the neighborhood. Medical care is within walking distance of Germantown, as the Danbury Hospital takes up a large portion of the western end of the neighborhood.
Family-owned Danbury staples
For a night out, many locals head to Atlantic, a family-owned Portuguese restaurant in the neighborhood that “specializes in steak and fish,” Casiello says. The restaurant offers karaoke on Friday nights and “many people go there for anniversaries because of its specialized options.” Sweet treats are also easily accessible, with community staples like IL Bacio Ice Cream being a short walk away. The shop is also family-owned and has been serving the community for over 20 years. One feature that makes it an icon in the city is the “walls of photographs of Danbury residents eating ice cream,” Casiello says. Many locals choose to stock up their own kitchens at the nearby CTown Supermarkets, but there are also plenty of big-box stores like Walmart, 2 miles to the east at the expansive Berkshire Shopping Center.
Come for karaoke and great drinks every Friday night at the Atlantic restaurant in Germantown.
