The town's wooded landscape shades the streets and provides residents with privacy and greenery. New Canaan's downtown offers residents spots to mingle, shop and eat, "It's a really quaint little town," says Julie Vanderblue, a Realtor with Higgins Group Real Estate. The town's school system, ranked No. 2 in the state by Niche, is one of the big draws for families looking to settle down in the area.

The annual Fall Fair is one of the city's most popular events and is now in its 54th year. Located at the New Canaan Nature Center, the fair is a creative and welcoming way to embrace the turn of the season. The two-day event has carnival rides, a zip line, pumpkin carving, and more on its list of activities.
Getting around New Canaan
The city isn't crisscrossed with interstates and is relatively quiet thanks to its location. There are a handful of roads that converge in downtown New Canaan. The nearest major roadway is the Merritt Parkway, about three miles from the center of town. Instead of driving into New York City, many residents favor the hour-and-a-half direct train ride when it comes to traveling into the Big Apple.
