About Derby

Transportation access in and out of Derby is readily available, and the town lies on a Metro North railway stop. It is at the heart of the triangle bordered by larger towns – Bridgeport to the south, Waterbury to the north and New Haven to the east – so those just moved in to town looking for a house for rent or an apartment for rent will find commuting an easy option.
