Darien

Welcome to Darien

Gold Coast community with private homeowner association living and waterfront parks less than an hour from New York City.
 
One of the Gold Coast's most sought-after communities, Darien is a modern suburb with the ease of a seaside community. Nestled just South of New Canaan, along the Long Island Sound shore, this quaint New England enclave offers high-quality dining and retail storefronts, exquisite homes, and well-maintained properties in a blend of publicly accessible and private homeowners associations.
 
Featuring five golf, country, and swim clubs, two town beaches & playgrounds, one equestrian center, a YMCA, a Nature Center, and an Arts Center, Darien is a destination with broad appeal for all ages. Its exceptional school system, ranked #4 "Best School District in Connecticut" by Niche Media, is regularly a deciding factor for those drawn to town.
 
The caliber of homes, safety, and easy accessibility to New York City via two in-town train stations, makes Darien a favorite among young and established professionals and families alike.
