I currently live in Shelton, CT; since I live in Shelton, its become mundane and average. but if you visit CT in general, there are some interesting locations and significant local areas! Like Brugers Bagels, insomnia cookies, or even our grocery stores like Big Y.
Shelton is an amazing place to live. There is a wide variety of things to do such a s shopping, farms, small businesses, etc. Everyone in the community really comes together to support each other especially small businesses. Online, you can go to social media groups to find help or friends in your area there are always amazing people looking to share/spread joy to others and help out! With kids, the community is great for that as well, as Shelton has top sports teams, parks, clubs, and is a great place to make new life-long friends. I would recommend Shelton to anyone looking for a new home!
Shelton is a quaint city that has been undergoing a period of urbanization over the past ten years. Shelton has a strong school system. While others may not favor it, I find that having a large number of students at the schools allows for greater opportunities for those students who are more inclined to take higher-level courses. A student can find countless AP, UCONN, and other Early College Enrollment courses at Shelton High, whereas they might not find them in schools or smaller municipalities or smaller private schools.
