Darcy Sledge’s Top Reasons for living in…..
WESTPORT:
• Superior Schools – Connecticut Magazine named Staples High School the top school in the State!
•
• Great Commute – we are on Metro North’s main train line, with many express trains to Manhattan a day
• Vibrant Downtown – loads of wonderful shopping, restaurants, great library with wi-fi (even outside by the river), outdoor music pavilion in the summer, teen center and more!
• Longshore – once a private country club, now town owned. 18 holes of golf, 3 outdoor pools, tennis, paddle tennis, winter ice skating, sailing and windsurfing, lessons and activities for adults and children all year long. We are the only town in the area with a facility like this, and the prices are so reasonable!
• Beach community – Like many of our sister towns along the coast, we have several beaches to enjoy. Compo Beach is the largest town beach and has volleyball, rollerblading, large playground, pavilion, barbeque grills, boardwalk, baseball, and an abundance of activities including a huge 4th of July festival with fireworks!
• Sophistication – Westport residents expect top quality goods, services and amenities and Westport certainly delivers! Westport has a longstanding tradition of supporting the arts, so we have a steady stream of fairs, concerts, openings, exhibits and top-notch live theater.

• Southport – step back in time to visit this quaint, picturesque and upscale town-within-a-town – it has its own post office, market, restaurants, shops, train station, harbor and beach. “Revolutionary Road” starring Leonardo DiCaprio was filmed in downtown Southport – all they had to change was the advertising in the storefront windows and the cars out front!

Some houses have sweeping lawns, and others have dramatic rocks, rustling woods, streams, ponds, and spectacular views! You won’t be on top of your neighbor in Weston, CT!
• Wholesome lifestyle – Years ago, the town of Weston made a conscious decision to avoid commercialism in favor of a small-town atmosphere.
