Zip code 06704 anchors Waterbury’s north end, a residential pocket with tree-lined streets and the Brass City’s mill heritage along the Naugatuck River. Find everyday conveniences on Watertown and Chase avenues—supermarkets, coffee spots, local gyms, and casual pizzerias and Caribbean eateries—plus big-box shopping on Thomaston Avenue; downtown’s Palace Theater, Mattatuck Museum, and UConn Waterbury are a short drive. Outdoor time is easy at Bucks Hill and Lakewood parks for walking, fishing, and winter sledding, with quick access to Route 8 and I‑84 for commuting. The vibe is neighborly and family friendly, with plenty of pets on evening walks and weekend youth sports at local fields. Expect four-season New England weather—crisp falls and snowy winters. According to recent Zillow market trends, the median rent has been around $1,550 in recent months, with typical listings roughly $1,200 to $1,900 depending on size and finishes.

Strong neighborhood connections and community events foster a friendly atmosphere.
