With
the charm of a quaint New England town and the convenience of suburban
living, Wilton successfully combines country atmosphere with in-town
sophistication. Nestled in the Norwalk River Valley in southwestern
Connecticut, Wilton is a quiet, beautiful town in a bucolic setting
characterized by rolling, wooded hills, winding roads, old stone walls,
rippling streams and tranquil ponds.
As an active, friendly, well-educated and civic-minded community, the
citizenry takes pride in Wilton’s historic districts and local zoning is
carefully controlled. Architecturally significant landmarks are
preserved and restored. A variety of styles and architecture are
available throughout the town and the majority of residential properties
are zoned for two acres. There are also condominiums and planned
residential community living.
Secluded from the Route 7 corridor, the town center is the heart of the
business district. A variety of services, stores, restaurants, and movie
theaters are represented within the center while many boutiques and
antique shops are also located in Wilton’s Georgetown and Cannon
Crossing retail areas.
Wilton is located 55 miles from mid-town Manhattan and commuters find
the destinations of Fairfield and Westchester Counties, as well as New
York City, easily accessible by road or rail. To the south, the Route 7
Connector links Wilton to both the Merritt Parkway and Interstate 95.
Wilton’s main and Cannondale railroad stations provide Metro-North
trains to Grand Central Station and the advantage of free parking
without special permit.
Wilton is a town of growth and prosperity with a long-range plan to
preserve its character and enhance the quality of life for its
residents.
