Westport offers the best of all worlds to a diverse and culturally exciting population. Located on Long Island Sound, the breath-taking oceanfront scenery and charming country landscape, attractive amenities and comfortable commutes to metropolitan centers attract families, executives and people from the creative arts. Impressive waterfront properties grace the coastline while magnificent estates, country-houses and streamlined contemporaries dot the countryside.

In the summer, Levitt Pavilion, on the Saugatuck River, features a variety of family concerts and performances, and the Westport Playhouse hosts professional touring companies. Chamber music concerts are performed by the Westport Friends of Music in the autumn and winter, and the Green Farms Center for the Arts offers theater, music and art exhibits throughout the year.

Education in Westport also benefits from the generous support and involvement of residents. The public schools emphasize a strong academic curriculum with an ever-widening spectrum of enriching programs as students progress. Both college preparatory and vocational paths are offered.
