No, there are no bad parts.
Stratford is next door and is FFC, but the taxes are much higher than in Milford and it’s arguably a more blue collar town. Lord$hip is on the water and beautiful, and there are great neighborhoods in the north end (check out Beaver Dam area). Everything in between is kind of meh, and parts of the south end (success village) suck. That said, I would not hesitate if you can afford one of its “nice” neighborhoods.
Then there’s Shelton and Trumbull if you want a more rural lifestyle.
Fairfield is beautiful if you can afford it.

Grew up in Milford. It’s a wonderful city. Woodmont > Devon.

Heart worm meds are mostly the same. Pick whatever they will eat.
You need both year round.

Nice. It’s been a lot of years since I was 25, so I guess the rules have changed.

This is a restaurant atop the sea wall in Stratford, CT to give you some idea.

More touristy places (e.g. Mystic) will cost a bit more.
I concur with everyone else. Connecticut is a fantastic place to live, but not much of a vacation destination for a young couple who have never been to the U.S.
If shoreline is what you’re after, you want to be on the Atlantic and not Long Island Sound.
You really need a car in CT, but you’re too young to rent one. (Last I knew you had to be 25.)

Even if there are, I would have trouble eating there without thinking, “BJs is just as good and I’d have gotten the whole bird for $5.99. This is a rip off.”

Literally just finished a BJs chicken with the family. Tasted great.
Might be I’m a weirdo, but I like to wash my hands really well and then just rip off the meat and put into a serving dish. Carving is too much work for a chicken. Ensures no waste, anyway.

Nissan Altima for the win. Especially silver ones with dark tint and missing hub caps.

> The melon heads live on the outskirts of town on heavily wooded country roads, known as melon head roads. Zion Hill Road, for example, is Milford’s melon head road. Saw Mill City Road is Shelton’s. The melon heads also supposedly live on the outskirts of Monroe, Stratford, Seymour, Weston, Easton, Oxford, Southbury, Fairfield, New Haven and Trumbull.

Always scan and keep a copy of your license.
I use a program called 1password and keep info like this stashed in there so it’s always at my fingertips.
Anyway, if you filed taxes look there. Also in your insurance policy documents.

It hasn’t been cold enough. Growing up we’d skate on the duck pond in Milford center, but we need a few weeks of deep cold before it’d be safe.
There’s also Ryder’s pond in Orange.

Curious- what makes one rum and coke better than another? Is it not just, you know, coke with rum in it?

Reply to Thoughts on Bridgeport? by Neckties-Over-Bows
Some nice areas in BPT (e.g. Black Rock)
If I were young and starting out, I’d rather live by myself in Bridgeport than with a roommate in Stamford.
Every city has bad areas.
If not dead-set on city life, Milford, Stratford, Shelton are all nice places to live. Commute to Stamford sucks, though, if that’s where you work. Ditto from Bridgeport. 30 mins is your absolute best case scenario.

My most recent loan is from 2018.
1.99% from First Connecticut CU. At the time their website was offering closer to 3%, so AAA must have enough buying power to negotiate rates we can’t get on our own.
Yeah, good days… I feel for you guys having to borrow right now!

AAA will get lower rates from credit unions than you can get applying with them on your own. I’ve used their service 3x and now belong to three different credit unions.
But, yes, best rates will be at CUs.
