Why Real Estate in Darien is a Great Investment

I feel fortunate to be able to raise our family in a town where family comes first. You can tell this when you drive through he streets of Darien.  All the ball fields are being used, children are riding bicycles, people walking dogs and friends catching up over coffee or a walk on the beach.

Darien Connecticut offers everything one would want to raise a family. Darien has over eight preschools offering a wide array of programs to suit all little ones needs. These range from church affiliations to preschool programs being offered at the town YMCA and YWCA as well as the Darien Nature Center. Darien also has five elementary schools, and award winning middle school and new state-of-the-art high school.

The town is abundant with play space not only for the toddler set but also for adults. Children can have fun with a play date and picnic at Cherry Lawn or Baker. If they have older siblings they can swing from the monkey bars at the play set installed at McGuane field. There are also playgrounds and open field space at all of the elementary schools or games.

Our town also offers grass and turf fields for organized sports including soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, baseball , football and rugby. There is a wonderful track at the high school and tennis and paddle courts available for the public. If you love sports this is the town for you and your family. There are even organized sports for the adults in town including, tennis, paddle and ice hockey. Blue Wave Pride is something to marvel.

But we are not just about the athletics, Darien also boasts numerous creative arts and educational programs for children to expand their talents and minds. Most noticeably is the new Darien Library. A 24 million dollar expansive green facility which offers an enormous selection of books, dvd’s and cd’s. There are computer stations, quiet rooms and worktables or group study and even a café. It is where children can get together with friends, participate in story time or where adults can join a book club, take classes, participate in lectures or just enjoy a quiet reading nook.

Not only does Darien offer this new facility but we have the Darien Arts Center which offers many activities for those who like to pursue the arts including dance instruction, music lessons and art classes.

We also have a number of community associations such as the DCA, Senior Center, YWCA and YMCA that have numerous programs that address the needs of toddler s to seniors in this town so there is always a way to get involved and meet new friends.

All this and are town boast two majestic beaches for all residents to enjoy.

Why Darien? Why not. I can’t think of a better community to raise a family and I am happy to say this is where we plan on staying to raise ours.
