Unpopular opinion about Westport

Been meaning to ask this. Median household income is $132,206, which feels pretty solid for the area. The unemployment rate is 3.0%, which is pretty low. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a sales manager who relocated here from Houston about 12 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and family.

Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Four distinct seasons
- Lots of family-friendly activities

Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Limited shopping options

Financially, we've found it improving compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are wild, gas is decent.

Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Good luck with whatever you decide..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. it's been a really good experience overall. Compared to Miami it's surprisingly good.
