Population 18,000
Located in Fairfield county and nestled in the
Norwalk river valley, the town of Wilton is graced with winding
roads, streams, woods and rolling hills. A commuter town 55miles
from midtown Manhattan, Wilton is only one hour from Grand Central
Station and runs daily commuter service from the Wilton train
station. Wilton real estate affords many choices, from antique
colonials and farmhouses to new construction. There is something for
everyone in Wilton.
When light industry moved into town a carefully
executed plan was put into place in order to provide for orderly
growth in business and residential building, keeping in mind that
the new families moving in would require new roads, support
services, recreational facilities and most importantly excellent
schools that are considered among the best in the state, with a high
percentage of students accepted in ivy league schools. In addition
Wilton schools provide the very best sports facilities, enabling the
students to be highly competitive. Wilton has five schools. Wilton
High School serves grades 9-12, Middlebrook School serves grades
6-8, Cider Mill School serves grades 3-5 and Tilford and Driscoll
both serve K-2.
The town has preserved 1,000 acres for
recreational use including many beautiful parks , allowing for the
preservation of its rural atmosphere, yet the town center provides
an abundance of specialty stores, excellent restaurants, along with
service stores and office space, all housed in quaint buildings in
keeping with the architecture of New England.
Some of the recreational opportunities in Wilton
are at Comstock Community Center, which provides classes for
children from 18 months to senior citizens. Merwin Meadows in on 17
acres and has a swimming pond, athletic field, picnic facilities,
playground and basketball courts. The town has 12 tennis courts (8

and concern on the part of the community make this town the ideal
place to raise a family.
