Rent prices in Danbury getting crazy

Anyone else noticing rent going up fast in Danbury? Over the last year, I feel like prices went up at least 10-15%. I'm paying $1804 for a 2BR/2BA which feels like a lot. Are there any neighborhoods that are still affordable? Thinking about moving to a cheaper area.
