DARIEN Just 50 minutes from the hub of Manhattan, Darien is an attractive blend of comfortable seaside living and easy travel to the corporate world- making it a popular choice for executives and professionals and their families. Settled in 1645 and formally incorporated in 1850, the seclusion and beauty of Darien were well-kept secrets until 1920 when affluent artists and writers discovered the natural splendor of this coastal site. Since then, Darien has grown into a prosperous community, rich with history and enjoyment, and dedicated to the promotion of education, cultural/social development, and conservation of natural resources.  Darien's public school system is comprised of five elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. An accelerated curriculum and specialized education is provided for the gifted and disabled. Higher education is available in the area at Fairfield University, University of Connecticut at Stamford, and Norwalk Community Technical College. For more information on Darien's Schools- go to my School Information Page. The town's exceptional coastline and inland beauty provide many ideal spots for varied styles and sizes of homes. The Noroton and Tokeneke houses and homes of contemporary design are found throughout Darien. Enchanting beach cottages dot the coast.  A center of constant activity is the Darien Library, which boats 133,000 volumes and the highest per capita circulation in Connecticut. Some features are the wonderful Children's Library, State of the Art Technology, over 200 periodicals and computer training for the public to better utilize the library. Leisure and sporting activity abound in Darien. The town's pristine beaches provide ample swimming, water-skiing, windsurfing and sunbathing. Boating and fishing enthusiasts are well served by public and private marinas and clubs. In addition, Darien supports many public recreation facilities, including an excellent park system and athletic leagues for all ages. Equestrian sports are particularly popular in town, and the Ox Ridge Hunt Club sponsors an annual qualifying show for the National Horse Show. The annual Town Art Show exhibits the work of local professional arts and an active Historic Society is based in the 1736 Bates-Scofield Homestead.  Request my Free Darien Relocation Package.

Agency >Beneficial Brokers
Homebuyers who use the Internet to start their home search may be lured by the promises of realty companies advertising "one-stop shopping" guaranteed to meet all your housing needs. But before you sign up with an online company, consider the benefits of meeting personally with a real estate agent or broker who can represent your best interests in the transaction.
A full service real estate broker will be informed about the current trends in your local market. He or she will personally show you properties that satisfy your unique requirements. When you want to discuss your options for a home mortgage loan, your broker will refer you to a reputable mortgage professional who can help you choose a loan that meets your specific needs. Your broker will have a working relationship with home inspectors and homeowner's insurance companies whose professional integrity they can vouch for. Online "one-stop" companies profit from handling all aspects of a transaction, but the homebuyer may not receive adequate personal attention or get the best deal. It is to your advantage to engage the services of a real estate agent or broker, because their sole motive is to protect and guide you during the complex process of buying property.
