Westport Connecticut has a small town feel yet is utterly cosmopolitan with some of the best of everything in Fairfield County. With an active arts community there are summer concerts to attend at Levitt Pavilion on the Saugatuck River and year round theatre and art exhibits at The Greens Farms Center for the Arts. The coastal sections of the town offer an array of boating and swimming opportunities. The Schools benefit from generous, civic-minded community members and are considered some of the best in the nation.

Small-town ambience mingled with a cosmopolitan atmosphere best describes the lifestyle in the affluent community of Westport. Downtown is a countrified collection of Colonial homes and trendy, upscale shops centered along U.S. Route 1. The Saugatuck River runs through the center of town. The more residential neighborhoods feature tree lined streets with grassy meadows fronted on the coastal side by picturesque waterways dotted with sailboats. Westport's breath-taking ocean front scenery and charming country landscapes have attracted writers, actors and artists since the early 1900s.

Levitt Pavilion along the Saugatuck River offers a variety of family oriented concerts during summer months and the Westport Playhouse presents first-class theatre performances by professional touring companies. The Westport Friends of Music sponsor great chamber music performances in the fall and winter months and the Greens Farms Center for the Arts offers year round theatre, music and art exhibits. Nature lovers can enjoy Earthplace – The Nature Discovery Center, a 62-acre wildlife sanctuary with an extensive network of nature trails and a small natural history and ecology exhibit ideal for children.

Schools in Westport are considered among the best in the nation benefiting from the generous support of the town's wealthy and very civic minded residents.
