Downtown: Darien Connecticut
Posted by 
Whatever most of the residents who live close to town in Darien may compromise in property size, they certainly gain in convenience. Once a sleepy town center whose main activity revolved around New York City commuters travelling to and from the Darien train station, since 2004 Darien Center has experienced dramatic growth. Entirely new structures of brick or recently refurbished buildings line the Boston Post Road and house local businesses, apartments, restaurants and retail shops. Stone patios and park benches surrounded by perennial gardens and specimen trees add to the charm and distinctiveness of Downtown Darien. Despite the influx of activity, however, the town in committed to maintaining a local flavor, keeping the presence of national businesses to a bare minimum.
