[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]I'm surprised no one has mentioned the housing stock and 'feel' of NYC suburbs compared with those around DC. NYC suburbs have significantly more character in my opinion. Most NYC suburbs were built as railroad towns in the 1800s. You will never come close to finding a spot as charming [/b]as Ridgewood or Morristown, NJ (for example) immediately outside of DC.[/quote]

I grew up in Westport, CT....now living in Bethesda.

Another difference is that in CT people tend to NOT do the private school route as much as here. I am always surprised how many people here go private, even with a good public school system. Of course, there are CT privates, but in my experience it is not the norm to go to them. Public schools are good.

Also, beach accessibility for NYC suburbs. I grew up 10 minutes from the Long Island Sound

One more thing...many less big shopping malls in Fairfield County, CT compared to this area.
