Weston is a rustic town of
sweeping fields, ponds, riverside vistas and
thickly wooded forests. The natural splendor of
the area is undoubtedly a prime attraction to
residents, but when coupled with comfortable
commutes to urban centers, a solid school system
and excellent recreational offerings, Weston is
a choice spot for family living.
Residents carefully preserve the beauty of
Weston. Almost 30 years ago, a master plan was
adopted to protect vast areas of land from
development, and establishing a 2-acre lot
minimum requirement for new homes on remaining
lands. As a result, the attractive homes of
Weston are set on spacious lots and surrounded
by natural beauty. Residences include
traditional colonials, charming farmhouses and
streamlined contemporary designs.
The picturesque terrain also lends itself to
outdoor and sporting pleasure. 1,400 acres of
land comprise Devil's Den, a nature preserve,
which features hiking trails, picnic areas and a
lovely pond. The town recreation department
hosts year-round activities for all ages,
including ski trips, indoor swimming, athletic
programs and innovative camps. Water sports are
enjoyed at the town swimming pond and at the
beaches of neighboring Westport, and a riding
academy provides equestrian fun. Several private
clubs offer skeet and trap shooting and
indoor/outdoor tennis courts and golf courses.
Weston's children receive a strong academic
foundation at a uniquely interconnected school
complex. Traditional coursework is supplemented
by a wide selection of culturally enriching
programs, including music, visual arts, drama
and stagecraft athletic leagues and
interscholastic programs. Special services are
provided for students with particular needs.
