Westport’s historic New England beauty combines with modern luxuries to make it the optimal location to live, work and play. Residents and visitors alike are drawn to its magnificent coastline, recreational activities, and its broad range of cultural and educational facilities. The Saugatuck riverfront is a retail, dining and residential destination that highlights the allure of a vibrant, ever-evolving, downtown Westport. Centrally located, Bankside House provides residents with the ease and convenience of a walkable city-like lifestyle with the quaint charm of a small town.
Westport is located on Connecticut’s Gold Coast and is home to 28,000 residents. Formerly known as “Green’s Farm” due to the farming families that settled here, Westport eventually turned into a bustling shipping center by the 19th century and a destination for artists, musicians and writers by the 20th century. Nowadays, residents enjoy this scenic waterfront town with its proximity to Manhattan, fine dining and shopping and recreational water activities on the Saugatuck River and the Long Island Sound.
