One of New York City’s swankiest suburbs and one of the richest towns in the U.S., Westport is located 50 miles northeast along Connecticut’s Gold Coast on Long Island Sound. It owes its being in large part to the Saugatuck River that flows through it and was an early avenue of commerce.

For commuters, Westport has easy access to Interstate 95, U.S 1 and the Merritt Parkway. It also has two Metro North rail stations.

Westport’s population is just under 28,000. The median household income is $181,360 and the median property value is $1.15 million. Most single-family homes are on 1- to 2-acre lots. They range from modern mansions on the coast to quaint, older homes close to downtown.

Unlike other wealthy suburbs, Westport is not just residential. It is also business-friendly. Westport’s Nyala Farms, a 53-acre business center, is home to Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest macro hedge fund, and Terex, a Fortune 500 company that makes lifting and material-handling equipment. The Main Street Downtown business district has many shops and restaurants.

Westport is an ideal location for those who want to be close to New York City while living in a New England town with a small-town feel and things such as beaches, parks and a weekly farmers market.

In addition, the Town of Westport operates the Longshore Club Park Golf Course, a short 18-hole course with beautiful, well-manicured fairways that overlook Long Island Sound. Its challenge comes from its well-bunkered greens. The course is a favorite of golfers -- and Canada geese. At Longshore, you may see something you have never seen: handlers with service dogs chasing geese off the course. The city contracted with a company to humanely shoo away the birds.

Who lives or has lived in Westport? Not Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, even though their characters did when they moved to the country on “I Love Lucy.” Westport for Ricky and Lucy was a backlot on a studio in Los Angeles. There were, however, many real celebrities who live or have lived there, including Paul Neuman and Joanne Woodward, Kevin Bacon and Martha Stewart.
