Peaceful and picturesque rural community brimming with charm and outdoor opportunities
Searching for a place to escape the hustle and bustle? Look no further than Weston, Connecticut. Founded in 1787 as a farming and fishing village, Weston is known for its abundance of natural beauty and wide-open spaces. In the 1930s, artists, writers, and actors from New York became enamored with the area. Today, with just over 10,000 residents, limited commercial development, and no industry, Weston has flourished into a well-known affluent and cultured community while maintaining a private, intimate and peaceful allure that makes it a special place to live. The area combines the best of rustic charm and a rural country feel with a quaint, small town lifestyle cherished by all. This scenic town is not only home to nature preserves, recreational parks, hiking and biking trails but also has award winning public schools, all of which are located on one sprawling central campus making it very convenient for school drop off and pickup.
The people of Weston make the town what it is: a comforting, welcoming place. There’s a strong sense of community, yet families also get to enjoy a private and tranquil lifestyle. The town values its small-town atmosphere and rural nature. The two-acre zoning law helps slow down and manage residential growth. Its outstanding schools, known for highly revered teachers and top ratings, draws a large number of families. This desirable town continues to maintain an easygoing pace that promotes a relaxed way of life with an emphasis on getting outdoors and getting active — whether it’s at a neighborhood club, park, or farm.
There’s a handful of local places to discover in and around Weston. The Lunch Box is a fun and comforting neighborhood gathering place run by a couple in the community that serves up yummy breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as refreshing beers and wine.

Weston has no shortage of ways to get out and about and steal a breath of fresh air. In 1997, the late Leon Lachat left his 42-acre working farm on Godfrey Road West to the town of Weston and the Nature Conservancy. Now, Lachat Town Farm serves as a community garden, farm and farmhouse, barn, and local event venue at which to visit and make wonderful memories. Nearby is Devil’s Den, a gorgeous green nature preserve, and Saugatuck Reservoir, where you can fish for hours on end. Bisceglie-Scribner Park is one of the many great parks in town, and Weston Racket Club and Weston Field Club are great places to build community and get active. Aspetuck Country Club is nestled in rolling acres of wooded hills and open space and features a golf course, pool, and several courts. The town holds an annual Memorial Day Parade & Fair, which has become a Weston staple that the whole community looks forward to.
