Danbury, CT Mobile Homes & Double-Wides for Sale

Danbury earned its nickname “Hat City” by being the largest hat manufacturer in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At one point, Danbury’s hat factories produced almost 5 million hats in a year. That specific industry declined, but the small city’s previously established manufacturing spaces are still in use. Furniture design company Ethan Allen is headquartered in Danbury, and industrial gas supplier Linde has a major operation in the area. The city of Danbury and Danbury Hospital are other major local employers. The city’s position in northern Fairfield County, as Danbury is against the New York border, means that commuting to New York City is very common as well. “It’s a small city, with about 90,000 people, but there are a lot of rural areas,” says Lisa Bowman, a broker with Bowman Properties by Coldwell Banker Realty who has served the area for over 20 years. “You still feel like you’re living out in the country in a lot of ways, but you can easily get to New York City.” Compared to Fairfield County cities like Darien and Greenwich, Danbury is more affordable and much more culturally diverse; Danbury’s Latino population makes up about 31 percent
