I have a car, but it’s up there in miles and I want to generally cut down on my driving.

Anywhere along 95 will let you commute via train. The Milford stop is right downtown and pretty convenient depending on where in town you live. I believe commuter parking is free at West Haven too, which might be an option. You can live anywhere and drive a couple miles and park to take the train.

i've never used it but there's a Shoreline East train to Metro North. it's not expensive compared to gas and parking. it goes all the way to New London.

Rent isn't going to be great along the shoreline but it could expand OP's range a bit
