I'm looking for some one who lives in the Southbury, CT and even better if you live in the Heritage Village. I would like to know what you think of Heritage Village and the Southbury area? I'm thinking of moving into the area.
Thanks for any info you can give me.

I don't live there but have brought clients to see units. I've been told that some are better insulated than others...it all has to do with the later phases. Unfortunately, I am not 100 percent sure if this meant that the later phases were better insulated than the earlier phases (or vice versa).

Thanks for the info...I'll make sure to check it out on my next trip back to CT.

There are many 55+ communities in Southbury, Oxford, Seymour and Newtown.

Heritage Village in my opinion is one of the nicer 55+ communities in Connecticut. Right in the center of the village, you have upscale day spas, restaurants and shopping along with a few golf courses in the neighborhood. On Southbury's picturesque Main Street South, you have Gap, Ann Taylor, Victoria's Secret, grocery stores, KMart, Talbots, Starbucks, numerous mom & pop shops and no fast food drive thrus.

If you were looking for a single family home with more privacy you could check out some 55+ communities being built in Oxford and Newtown. They can be quite expensive though as most start over $450k. In the Village at Oxford Greens, residents typically are younger than the residents of Heritage Village, the average age being probably between 60 and 70, while Heritage is 65-80 (this is just my opinion, so I don't know for sure). There are other communities on Great Hill Road on the Oxford/Seymour line and another one being built along Roosevelt Drive in Oxford.

My advice is to spend an afternoon in Heritage Village and strike up a conversation with one of the locals. They can probably give you a little more insight than people on the forum.

Good luck.

Southbury , woodbury, middlebury areas are beautiful to live. Definite upscale areas. The village is nice if you want to be in your own little community. There are some condo type situations right in the village area with assisted living accommadations available which is an option as people may need help in later years.Good luck with your adventure. Also....be careful driving in Southbury alot of elderly people driving still.....accidents very high ratio.

Southbury sounds like the area I'm in now.....elderly people...accident ratio kind of high.
Thanks for your input.
