2 Reviews & Comments About Derby
WOW!!! I used to live in CT. I lived in New Haven, Derby & Bridgeport and I used to stay in Hartford & Waterbury from time to time.
I lived in Derby for 8 years and I lived in New Haven for 22 years. I left New Haven & actually moved to Derby to move to a smaller town wmurders, shootings, drugs, etc. Derby was like 'Andy Griffith' town so to speak. It was very small. No malls, small population, If you cross the threshold you could either be in Ansonia or Shelton because it was just that small. Truth spoken about no job availability was accurate for Derby. Buses ran every hour and last bus was at 8:30p.m.
The rents are cheaper in Derby & Waterbury because the towns are smaller but you have to travel a little distance for a job.
Now what I will say is CT is the richest state. The pay rate is higher, the cost of living is high as well.
I live in Derby. Derby is a nice city. There is barley any crimes here. The neighborhood I live in is quiet. The bad part of Derby in my opinion is Hawkins and Anson Street.
