Trumbull is ‘booming,’ survey concludes
Trumbull ranked first among Connecticut towns in the “Top Booming Suburbs in America” survey conducted by Coldwell Banker Real Estate L.L.C.
The survey ranked more than 1,500 U.S. communities based on year-over-year employment increases, the health of their respective job markets, proximity to good schools, safety and the presence of “suburban staples” like banks and grocery stores, among other categories.
While no Connecticut towns cracked the national top 10, seven of the top 10 “booming suburbs” in Connecticut are in Fairfield County. Westport, Ridgefield, Newtown and Fairfield rounded out the top five, with Greenwich ranked seventh and Shelton ninth.
“As America continues to bounce back from the recession, this ranking identifies suburbs that have shown strong economic growth since the recovery,” said Budge Huskey, president and CEO of Coldwell Banker Real Estate, in a June 26 release. “These communities have the American ideals we love, the suburban dream intact and a population that is finding jobs at a better rate than the national average.”
Onboard Informatics, a provider of real estate information and technology solutions, collaborated with Coldwell Banker to produce the rankings.
