Saugatuck
Westport's walkable waterfront village around the Saugatuck River
Saugatuck wraps the lower stretches of the Saugatuck River as it flows into Long Island Sound, anchored by a genuinely walkable village with restaurants, the Saugatuck Rowing Club, and the Westport Metro-North station (the station that most Westport commuters actually use). Housing is a mix: smaller single-families, multi-family conversions, recently-built townhouses, and a growing collection of new condos at the river's edge. Saugatuck appeals to buyers who want the Westport schools and proximity to Compo Beach, but also want a real downtown feel and the easiest possible Metro-North commute. It's the part of Westport that feels most like a village, not a leafy suburb.
