A small suburb of New York City located approximately 1 hour (by car or train) NW of manhattan. Redding is often characterized as the home of alcoholic children and popped-collar snobs, but is in fact a great community. If you're looking to raise a family, you'll be hard pressed to find a safer, more wholesome environment for your children. The public schools (although ranked very highly) do suffer from some of the moral decay written about by previous visitors to this site. Supermarkets are close, with an even greater variety of outlets available within 20 minutes driving distance. Home styles vary from very modest residences to sprawling estates with sweeping lawns, pools, and tennis courts. Redding does lack ethnic and religious diversity, as it has long been considered less than welcoming to non-WASPs. However, all the cultural diversity New York City has to offer is only an hour away.
If you're looking for a safe place to raise your kids, Redding, CT, is a great choice.

A small town in Fairfield County, CT. Redding has many residents with small businesses, artists, New York City commuter types, and local business workers. A great community with friendly people. Unlike its stereotype, it generally isn't overrun by rich snobs and their alcoholic children, although, like everywhere, there are some. High school students generally do get into drugs at some point during their high school career. The "deep" and "artsy", "interesting" kids tend to be the actual most popular and the obnoxious party kids tend to just think they're the most popular. There really is no social heirarchy. The test scores are very high. Most everyone in Redding is a liberal democrat, but no one is really passionate about politics. The roads are tiny, twisty, and difficult in the winter, but the town is beautiful all year round and the police always need some action so they're happy to help. New York City is just an hour away and the surrounding, less historically wary, towns have many shops, restaurants, and other entertainment. There are a few restaurants in town. There is little diversity, but everyone is pretty open minded so no one is likely to be discriminated against. Most people are healthy eaters and exercise often. The town lets you be very private if you want or very social with that "small town" love. It's not hard to become a big fish in a little pond if you want to be, just be prepared to push hard if you want to be anything more than that.
