If you are on city water, it is very good and very safe. I have a well and use salt to soften it, so we have a dispenser and buy water jugs from Home Depot, Acme or Grade A ShopRite.

  1. The affluent towns surrounding Stamford (Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan) in addition to some pockets within the city may offer the quiet but close aspect, but it will depend on what you’re looking for. It could range from busy high rise apartment to a small single family house. Price will also be a large factor for the town/city and proximity to conveniences.

  2. 170k will definitely be above average and will come in handy with the HCOL for the area

  3. Many rentals are becoming amenable to electric car owners so yes they do exist as are expanding.

  4. Beaches are pretty good and are easiest to get into for less or free if you reside in the town. They are not large as you look at the Long Island sound but can make for nice days for sure.

  5. The larger cities like Norwalk and Stamford are certainly more diverse than the others I mentioned above

Overall, a real estate agent who will ask the right questions will best be able to get you where you want to be. Happy to recommend some

With your criteria, Stamford (and Norwalk) is definitely doable! I

am a Local Realtor in the area, and I will say that rent a lot of the time are significantly higher than what a mortgage could be. There are some buildings that offer EV charging, but can be scarce (look for the newer ones).

If you need any rental/purchase recommendations, send me a message! I’m always available to chat, welcome to the area! :)
