Weston is a rustic town of sweeping fields, ponds, riverside vistas and thickly wooded forests. The natural splendor of the area is undoubtedly a prime attraction to residents but when coupled with comfortable commutes to urban centers, a solid school system and excellent recreational offerings, Weston is a choice spot for family living.

Most shopping opportunities are outside of town. There is only one small shopping center for conveniences. There are no condominiums, apartment houses or corporate offices. Major cultural activities are available in adjacent Westport, and in New Haven, Stamford and New York City.

The Weston Commission for the Arts plans exciting cultural events in Weston each month, and the Recreation Department provides for a wide range of activities for residents of various ages. The 53-acre Bisceglie-Scribner Park provides active recreation and contains picnic facilities, a swimming pond and the Kiwanis Fitness Trail.

Forever Green, Weston is known for its purchase of conservation restrictions. Almost one quarter of the Town is permanently devoted to open space use. Whether the northern Nature Conservancy Lucius Pond Ordway - Devil's Den (1765 acres) or Katherine Ordway Preserve (60 acres) on the east side of Weston, or 645 acres of Aspetuck Land Trust all around the Town, every neighborhood can claim some piece of recreational land nearby as its own.
