My overall experience with Westport, Connecticut has been very positive. I have had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful town on numerous occasions and each time I have had a wonderful experience. The town offers so much in terms of outdoor activities, from shopping and dining, to nature walks and outdoor sports. The people are polite and friendly, making it easy to make friends and socialize. The town is well-kept and clean, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy yourself. I have enjoyed my time in Westport, Connecticut, and would be recommended it to anyone looking for a great place to visit.
Westport has great scenery, a beautiful beach, and many delicious restaurants. Overall Westport is a very nice city, especially when you have children as there are amazing schools for the best education. However, inclusivity lacks tremendously within the area and many minorities have had continuous issues with ignorant neighbors. It reflects poorly on the town and makes you question the education system quite a bit. It is also a common trait for people to be snobby and rude in public as everyone is wealthy with big egos. I would rate Westport an average city for minorities but excellent if you are Caucasian and wealthy.
Westport is a small, pretty, scenic suburb in Connecticut. There are many decent restaurants and shopping stores for everything you'd dream of. Sometimes the area can get a little boring as it is so isolated but it is in a convenient location were you can easily travel to near by places. The community has a nice charm as well as its people. Overall it is a good place to live and/or raise kids in.
