Why Ridgefield is the Safest Town in CT and How to Keep it That Way

May 6th, 2008 categories: Market Data & Statistics, Ridgefield, Talking Real Estate

Crime is virtually unheard of in Ridgefield. We have our “police blotter” kind of stuff but by and large Ridgefield is one of the safest towns in Connecticut! Connecticut Magazine said that Ridgefield has the lowest crime score ever measured since they started their “Best Towns” survey. Low crime, great schools, rich culture and terrific property values make Ridgefield one of the best real estate deals in Fairfield County.

The town is so safe due to our wholesome, honest New England lifestyle and to the Ridgefield Police Department. To best protect our citizens and guests, the RPD needs to expand and renovate their Headquarters on East Ridge. The upcoming budget referendum will be requesting over $4 million for the RPD project.
