Watertown
I love living in the suburbs! There are many small stores with a wide variety of wares, and we are very close to urban shopping. The residents are very friendly and the school system is a good one. Neighbors are helpful and caring.
Westport
I love the schools and the focus on the arts I have found in my community of Westport
I love the community runs and races–the outdoor biking, the hiking in Devils Den Weston!!
When my kids were preschool aged I loved having the Maritime Aquarium nearby, as well as Stepping Stones Children’s Museum.
Our libraries offer free programming–was a great go to place for me to do a mommy and me and meet other moms.
Being a parent in Fairfield County is the best of both worlds: close enough to get into NYC with kids on the train or by car and perfect suburban family life–with great beaches and parks.
