[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up there, and parents are still there, and I visit often.  It is an affluent, coastal community. It prides itself on being an artistic community, and provides cultural opportunities. Very charming. Many beautiful old homes, and some ugly McMansions, unfortunately. 1 hour from NYC. Good shopping, and the best donuts in USA. Liberal, suburban, casual, unpretentious. 25,000 people. You are lucky to have this opportunity. Take me with you. Good schools. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more info, details. [/quote]

I also grew up there, but disagree about it being unpretentious.  It gets worse and worse every year, with more and more families moving into the McMansions from NYC.   If you're looking for more laid back, I'd check out Westport's sister town, Weston.  It's smaller, less retail (tiny town center with just the basics, no chain stores), blue ribbon schools, and you get more land.  My sister lives there now and enjoys it a lot more than Westport.  Good luck, OP.  I'm so jealous.  I would move back to CT tomorrow if I had the chance![/quote]
