The Community: Weston is unique. Despite a location less than 50 miles from New York City, its rolling wooded hills will always be a bucolic retreat, where streams refresh the senses and privacy is a way of life. Active resistance to development has preserved one-third of Weston as open space and pristine nature preserve, also protecting the historic appearance of the town. Incorporated in 1787, Weston's 20.8 square miles are governed by a Board of Selectman. Farsighted town officials instituted two-acre zoning in the 1950's, thereby maintaining a country atmosphere for the wide variety of lovely homes sheltered within Weston's green quietude. Ranging from restored farmhouses to dramatic modern mansions, all enjoy the rustic privacy of a country retreat convenient to the metropolitan area. Sister city Westport provides beaches and outstanding cultural stimulation.
Education and Cultural Facilities: Strong financial support has created a top-rated school system, where 97% of graduates proceed onward to higher education. Weston's recently renovated Hurlbutt Elementary School, Weston Middle School with it's Olympic-sized pool and Weston High School have garnered an impressive list of awards. Small class sizes, a wide range of activities and opportunities for independent and overseas study enrich a superior curriculum. Every desirable cultural activity is available in nearby Westport, Stamford and New York City.
Recreational Facilities: Devil's Den, a remarkable 1,756-acre preserve, provides Nature Conservancy programs and hiking on over 20 miles of hiking trails. Additional Land Trusts, Compo and Burying Hill Beaches in Westport, 52-acre Scribner Park, country fairs and a host of organized recreational activities exist. Aspetuck Trail Association maintains extensive trails for equestrian use and superb private clubs grant opportunities for tennis and golf.
Transportation: Highway access to Interstate 95, the Merritt Parkway and Metro-North commuter rail service from neighboring Westport or Wilton make traveling simple.
