Are you going to be working in Milford or commuting somewhere else? If you can find a way to avoid the daily commute on I-95, you will be happier. I spent 5 years commuting between New Haven and South Norwalk and found it to be a grind. If it will get you where you need to go, MetroNorth has great service along the shoreline. It's also the best way to get into Manhattan. Now I'm near Middletown and commute to Hartford. It's a much easier trip, but I miss being on the shoreline.
