Danbury is home to Danbury Hospital, Western Connecticut State University, Danbury Fair Mall and Danbury Municipal Airport. A rail spur from Metro-North connects Danbury to the main line at South Norwalk. Nearby Brewster, New York has frequent trains serving New York City’s Grand Central Terminal. In April 2021, WalletHub ranked Danbury as the 10th most diverse city in the United States, the most diverse city in New England, and the third most diverse city in the New York metropolitan area (behind Jersey City and New York City).

The region’s natural attributes provide beautiful parks and recreation, including Danbury Candlewood Park overlooking Candlewood Lake, and Tarrywile Mansion and Park, one of Danbury’s most popular recreation parks, encompassing 722 acres. The Ives Concert Park, named for Charles Ives, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and “Father of American Music,” offers a beautiful open-air venue.
