WESTPORT
Popular for charming neighborhoods, great schools, and waterfront access, Westport still maintains a village feel. Cultural options abound in this town-even the public library has a maker space and a recording studio. On pedestrian-friendly Main Street, brand-name luxury stores and independent shops line both sides of the quaint shopping district. Want to get outside? Westport is a boater's dream, with five miles of the Long Island Sound coastline's unspoiled beaches, as well as frontage on the Saugatuck River. Homes in Westport are mainly single family. Historic farmhouses, carefully restored Colonial gems, and waterfront retreats are all options.
