Greenwich Is Named a Top Beautiful Town in Connecticut

Greenwich often is at the top of the list when it comes to best places to live, having stellar schools and the most expensive homes.

The global culture and lifestyle website culturetrip.com that writes about the arts, culture, food and travel has published its Top 10 Beautiful Towns in Connecticut and understandably, Greenwich is on the list.

Here is what culturetrip.com had to say about Greenwich:

Just 40 minutes by train from central Manhattan, Greenwich is the perfect getaway from the hectic rush of city life, and is a popular town for commuters searching for a quieter life. The town is comprised of several areas, each filled with beautiful historic buildings, charming inns and quaint local museums, all paying homage to the area’s heritage and culture. Thanks in part to its commuter population, Greenwich has more of a cosmopolitan feel than other local towns, with Greenwich Avenue in the centre of town providing brand names and designer boutiques, as well as more quirky independent shops.

And if you’re curious, here are the other top beautiful towns in the Nutmeg state:

• Cornwall
• Chester
• Essex
• Kent
• Milford
• Mystic
• Old Saybrook
• Westport
• Wethersfield
