Fairfield County, CT relocation guide
Moving to Shelton, CT
About Shelton
Shelton is a city on the Housatonic River in the lower Naugatuck Valley, the most value-oriented market on this list. Housing stock is classic suburbia — colonials, split-levels, and ranches on quarter- to half-acre lots, plus condos and newer construction — more affordable than the coastal towns. The riverfront and farm country give it more character than a typical bedroom suburb.
