Characteristics

Transportation

This town is an extraordinarily good area for driving. Parking is easy. In contrast, Wilton is not very transit friendly. Thankfully, homeowners can count on the Cannondale, Wilton and Merritt 7 with access to the Danbury. There are a few bus lines passing through the town. This area is not particularly suited for cycling as there are very few bike lanes, and riding is rendered difficult by the often sloping topography. Traveling as a pedestrian is also not very feasible for house buyers in Wilton since running daily errands is impractical without the need to use a vehicle.

Services

There are only a very small number of high schools and primary schools in this town and accordingly they can be a very long trip away. In addition to public schools, there are private elementary and secondary schools. With regards to eating, house buyers in Wilton typically have to turn to a vehicle to do grocery shopping in one of around 10 stores. A limited number of restaurants are available in Wilton as well.

Character

Wilton offers a slower-paced ambience and will appeal to those who enjoy spending time outdoors. This town is quiet, as there are generally low levels of noise from traffic - although there are still several louder areas, especially around the railway line. Finally, there are over 50 parks close by for residents to relax in, like Beers Lane and Spectacle Swamp, making it easy to get to them.
