IMO, Danbury, CT is the closest you can get to NYC in CT with sane housing prices. If you go south to Greenwich, most of Stamford, and especially New Canaan, the prices are ridiculous.
From Danbury you can drive 15mins to the brewster metro north station (or less depending on where in Danbury) or you could take the Danbury train to Stamford and transfer that way.
