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.

Located in lower Fairfield County, Redding is a town of sophistication, wealth, and people who are better than you are. A place where it is not unusual to see a pair of Nantucket red pants with whales on it paired with topsiders and a pastel Lacoste, a place where collars are undoubtedly turned upwards in the direction of their wearer’s nose, a place where the words “yacht” and “summer” are used mostly as verbs and a “crew” isn’t a bunch of black people standing on the corner. Excelling in sports such as soccer and basketball. People from Redding enjoy the finer things in life; when they’re not yachting to their summer residence on block, playing squash at their club on Nantucket or clubbing in nearby New York City, they’re undoubtedly enjoying a relaxing sunset in the Hamptons, teeing off at Pebble beach or “becoming cultured” in Europe. Known predominantly for their famous reputation for a notorious partying lifestyle, Joel Barlow High School boosts one of the highest college acceptance percentages and mean standardized test scores. Joel Barlow High School students are bread to attend prestigious universities, to match the success and prosperity of their predecessors, and to live up to the lofty expectations of their blue-blooded peers.

The best small town in CT, Redding is host to many of the stereotypes also found throughout Fairfield County, CT. Most families reel in over $150,000 a year, and live in $600,000+ homes, with more than a handful of houses priced at over a million dollars. This is to be expected after all, it is Fairfield County.
The younger generation in Redding attends Joel Barlow High School. Those attending the high school share their learning environment with their fellow Eastonites, making up a student body of about 1000, giving you an idea as to why Redding is the best small town. Due to the small student body, most sports team are unsuccessful, especially football and hockey, although soccer fares considerably well each season. School spirit is nearing an all-time low. A small number of students choose to avoid JBHS and go to private school, but remain close with their public school counterparts.
The school is plagued with wannabe kids yet to find their purpose in life. JBHS is home to no shortage of emo kids and ghetto wannabes. Cliques based on these dress styles and fake personalities form among the entering freshman quickly. The emo kids band together, and the ghetto kids pretend to be 'down' in the 'rougher cities' like Brideport, see B-po, and Norwalk, despite the fact many of them probably only visit relatives in these towns.
By far, the most consistent stereotype among Reddingites is the trademark North Face fleece wearing, Jeep Cherokee or better driving, DMB listening teenager, who is not ashamed to buy weed or alcohol with his parents cash. Unless you are an emo bitch or a ghetto punk, the most popular music to listen to is Dave Matthews Band. When asked why, you typically justify with the comment, "Because it is just so chill". Compared to the nearby, and wealthier towns of Westport and Fairfield, Redding teens sport their pastel colored polos less, but there is no shortage of preppy looks either.
For enjoyment, partying is the name of the game for Redding kids. Beiruit, or 'ruit, as it is commonly called is quickly becoming Redding's favorite pastime. Drugs are fairly common as well, and there have been a considerable number of drug busts at the high school for such a small population. Rich kids with too much time on their hands...

In redding there is nothing to do, thats why so many ppl get drunk or high here. there is alot of money, but i dont think the kids show it. i mean we were polos and expensive clothes, but we dont act like snobs.
But while mom and dad are at work or parties, the kis deffentally know how to have a good time, and never get caught. Joel Barlow-the highschool in Redding is shared by the easton kids, The highschool is a shit hole that is still being worked on.
overall redding is a nice place where kids know how to party.
