The historic New England town of Ridgefield
combines a pleasant rural setting for family living and outdoor
enjoyment with an ideal location for travel to major business and
commercial centers.
The appeal of life in Ridgefield is evidenced by its rapid
population growth since the 1950s - from 4,000 to 24,000.
Residences in town present a wide selection of styles and sizes,
including spacious single-family homes, renovated colonials and
elegant modern architecture. Charming condominium communities are
tastefully integrated into the landscape, and a variety of
waterfront properties are found along the shores of the many lakes
in town. "Main Street" , a historic village with stately mansions
and unique shops adds to Ridgefield's New England character.
The Ridgefield Arts Council is part of town government and exists to
promote the arts for residents of all ages. The Council's activities
include assisting both current and developing art groups, artists
and programs; encouraging collaboration and coordination in the
development of town cultural events and schedules; and creating
liaisons with neighboring town cultural organizations.
An abundance of athletic and leisure activities are made possible by
the town's excellent natural terrain and enthusiastic recreation
department. Fishing, swimming and boating are enjoyed at Lake
Mamanasco, Lake Wind Wing and Pierrepont State Park. A Skating
Center features open skating sessions, figure skating lessons and
league hockey, and a challenging public course serves golfers.
