Shelton, CTInc. 1789
Shelton is a city on the Housatonic River with a split character: the dense, older downtown and waterfront areas along the river, and the suburban corporate office parks and residential neighborhoods on the hills above. The city has attracted significant corporate development, and the commercial tax base is substantial for its size.
For property professionals, Shelton is a diverse market with urban waterfront, suburban residential, and corporate commercial properties. The Housatonic River creates flood exposure downtown, and the hilltop corporate parks have different risk and value profiles.
