Danbury has so much to offer as a city! There are a variety of restaurants from different cultural backgrounds to choose from. The nightlife is present depending on the location, and the education is prominent. There are only two public High Schools and one private. The two public High Schools (Danbury High School and Abbott Tech) are good schools. The college prep between Danbury High School and Abbott varies. Furthermore, Abbott helps prep students for a specific trade or trade school while DHS focuses more on sending kids to college.
Firstly, I’m gonna nitpick the fact that this site is calling Danbury a town. It’s a city not a town. It’s literally the City of Danbury. But anyways, I’ve lived in Danbury my whole life and it has its pros and cons. The public school system is amazing considering we have the largest high school in CT. Danbury High has greater opportunities than any other high school in the state. We have the mall which does provide a decent amount of job opportunities and there’s been lots of new apartments/homes being built for housing opportunities. Prices may not be the greatest but that depends on where you are in Danbury really. It’s an extremely diverse city and we’re also a pretty quick drive to NY. Overall, it’s not the worst place in CT at all. Personally, it’s better being in Danbury than being in Waterbury or Hartford soooo.
Danbury is a small town in the state of Connecticut, it's safe, it's filled with diversity, and their people are very welcoming. The town has may restaurants from different countries. There are restaurants from South America, Europe, Asia, India, The Middle East and many more. My experiences have all been positive, their schools are amazing and the real state is awesome, it's growing every day. Danbury is a town that is worth visiting!
