Reply to comment by roundabout_now in Made in Connecticut: ASML in Wilton is one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world by jaydecay123

The median home price in Wilton today is $860k. That's a ~$6k/mo ($72k/yr) mortgage + tax payment today. I would say a $250k household income would be the low end of realistically being able to safely afford that.

Westport, New Canaan, Ridgefield, Weston or Redding probably don't offer much reprieve either. Norwalk would be the only realistic housing option for someone making $60k to live in a bordering town

Yea, but it's a crappy commute from almost anywhere. Stuck on single lane Rt 7 from the north, or 95/parkway traffic from the east/west.

All I was trying to say with my original comment is they would be able to grow significantly bigger within the state if they were located more centrally to commute to. Middletown/Cromwell or up by Bradley
