Lower Fairfield County (Greenwich, Stamford, New Canaan and the like) wouldn't be "extreme commuting."
Those are some of the most desirable and expensive suburbs in the NYC metro. There are express trains during commuting hours. You can get from your home to office in Midtown in about an hour, which is a pretty standard commuting time, at least locally.
The extreme commuting suburbs are the cheaper suburbs, mostly not on rail lines, requiring bus commutes or drive to railroad suburbs. Lots of NJ suburbs are cheaper than equivalents in NY and CT because they require bus commute or rail transfer and there's a bottleneck crossing the Hudson.
