Southbury

Welcome to Southbury

A quiet suburban city nestled among rolling hills and scenic views
 
Located on the western side of Connecticut with close access to New York City, Southbury is a quaint and scenic town. It is the perfect place to settle down for families who need to commute to New York City and want a sanctuary away from the bustle of big city life. The town was founded in 1673 and thus has a deep history.
 
Many Southbury homes have been renovated to have more modern systems and amenities. Yet the exteriors are very much reminiscent of historical American homes. Styles like Colonial and Victorian are very popular in Southbury, with symmetrical façades and exquisite dormers and gables.
