The feel of the town
Weston is one of the most rural-feeling towns in lower Fairfield County. About a quarter of the town is permanent open space, two-acre zoning keeps homes spread out, and the small town center is the only commercial area.
Days here revolve around the outdoors, with Devil's Den, land trust preserves and the Saugatuck River close by, while Westport's beaches and trains are just to the south.
