Hi all, I'm a teacher here and Household incomes average around $114,739 in Shelton. Rent is about $1,661/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 3.7%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 50--F, so expect cold winters. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Am I wrong here? Any help is appreciated. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

Weather-wise, the summers are improving and winters are pricey. You get used to it after the first year.

Bought a house here in 2020 and it exceeded my expectations. Property values have gone up significantly since then.

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Portland, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good schools in most areas
- The community vibe scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for singles. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
