Shelton is a relaxed riverside city of about 40,000 in Fairfield County with miles of Housatonic River shoreline, parks, trails and a small walkable downtown—great for daily runs, biking, kayaking and a comfortable multi‑week stay.
When you want bigger-city energy, Bridgeport and New Haven are a short drive away and offer larger dining scenes, theaters, museums and commuter links to the rest of Connecticut and NYC.
