Questions Possibly Related to Darien, ConnecticutProvided By Y! Answers
Does anyone know anything about the reputation of Darien, CT? Or Anything bout the rep of Connecticut?
Answer:
Here is something: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darien,_Connecticut
I live in Connecticut. If you are thinking about moving here, don't! Connecticut is one of the most over taxed and over priced states in the country. People have been leaving our state due to high taxes. So have jobs and companies.
Darien is a community of the very affluent members of our society.
Is there anything specific you wanted to know?

*Not a suspected sundown town but of interest for other reasons.
Strange thing is that I was going to mention the town I grew up in in CT and then I saw it was on this list already. It was basically all white and black people especially were not really viewed well. Everyone always stared at them if they drove by and most people I knew were quietly racist. There seemed to be some sort of understanding that black people did not have any business in our town, especially at night. It was strange, but I never really thought about it until I was much older.

Should we move to Bronxville, NY or Darien, CT? Question: We live in Manhattan now, but would like to move to either Westchester or Connecticut. What is Bronxville like? What is Darien like? How are the public schools?
Answer:
If you will continue working in Manhattan, I would pick Bronxville for the shorter commute and more dependable commute. Many stormy days, while on the train (Harlem Line) I read in the paper about delays on the New Haven Line due to down wires.
I don't know anything about Darien so I can't compare the 2. I used to work in Bronxville and thought it a great place. (Get the diced chicken from the Chinese take out place a few doors down from the village's supermarket.) From what I have heard and read, the schools are very good. The high school girls track team seems to be a winner, they are mentioned in the newspaper a lot.
