A high-end suburb with an involved community in Westport
Staples shares a name with Westport’s well-ranked public high school, which is one of the area's major draws. Niche gives both the high school and the district an A-plus grade, ranking it as the second-best district in the state. Staples High sits near the middle of the neighborhood, among peaceful streets filled with luxurious colonial-style homes. While much of life can revolve around students, the community extends beyond younger residents. “After their kids leave the school system, people will stay for their empty nesting years. They have longtime friends here, so it’s just a fabulous place to be an empty nester, too,” says Leslie Clarke, a Realtor with Compass Connecticut and established Westport resident. Staples is also centrally located in Westport, putting locals within 4 miles of the shopping in Westport Village and the recreation along the coast.
Large Colonial Revivals with neat landscaping
Peaceful, residential streets weave through the trees in Staples, often ending in cul-de-sacs. Homes sit on landscaped lawns encircled by stone retaining walls and short wooden fences. Older homes, like ranch-style houses and smaller Colonial Revivals from the early-to-mid 1900s, cost between $600,000 and $1 million. Large Colonial Revivals built within the last 20 years usually cost between $1.5 million and $3.5 million, but new, sprawling colonial-inspired estates can cost as much as $4.5 million.

Staples High School is the best in Connecticut

Wright Technical High School in Stamford or the Center for Global Studies in Norwalk, to enroll in specific career preparatory programs. Staples High School also offers courses in culinary arts, photography and graphic design.

Ball fields, country clubs and nearby beaches
Little league and softball teams practice at the Town Farm Ball Complex, a public park with ball fields and pickleball courts. “A big draw to Westport is that all the children’s sports and recreational activities are town-wide,” Clarke says. “Even if they go to different elementary or middle schools, by the time they enter Staples, the kids know each other.” The neighborhood also has the Fairfield Country Hunt Club, a social and equestrian club with riding stables and experienced trainers. It frequently hosts horse shows, and members meet for matches on the tennis courts and lounge by the swimming pools. Along the coast, there’s the Westport Longshore Club, which has a public golf course, marina, swimming pool and tennis courts. Compo Beach and Sherwood Island State Park are both popular places to go swimming or explore the Long Island Sound's coast.

Events at the local high school and community gatherings downtown
The community often congregates at Staples High School, cheering on the Wreckers at football games or appreciating the high school band at the December candlelight concert. Westport Village, the neighborhood just east of Staples that hosts the shopping district, is a destination for larger town events. In the summer, free outdoor concerts are held at the riverside Levitt Pavilion. Holiday parades march down Main Street for Memorial Day and Halloween.

Major interstates, bus routes and train lines are nearby
Sidewalks don’t line the neighborhood’s residential streets, so most people drive to run errands. U.S. Route 1, which is lined with stores and restaurants, anchors Staples to downtown Westport and nearby towns. This is also where residents find bus stops operated by the Greater Bridgeport Transit Authority, which has lines that go between Norwalk and Bridgeport. Commuters who work in New York City can connect with Interstate 95 to travel 55 miles to Manhattan. More commonly, they park at the Westport train station, about 4 miles from Staples, and board the Metro-North Railroad’s New Haven line. The train takes about 70 to 90 minutes to arrive at Grand Central Terminal. Staples also has a CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10, which is lower than the national average of 4.
