<p>I am thinking that college towns in general would be a good place to look. I’d check out Amherst Mass. </p>
<p>I would also mention the Connecticut shoreline east of New Haven, specifically Madison. </p>
<p>Fairfield County is just too crazy in terms of housing costs, although we theoretically have excellent schools. Please note that my son is in a private school and my other son did a PG year after graduating from the public high school.</p>
