Flatteringly described as “discrete”, “elegant” and even “rather aloof or reclusive”, the town of Pound Ridge has, at first glance, more in common with an English countryside village than a bright New England town. Pound Ridge is so low-key, there aren’t even any traffic lights, and the nearest train station is in nearby New Canaan, CT. Pound Ridge is somewhat proud of its reputation as the town that can be found off the beaten path.
The town’s two-lane roads, with their unique street signs that “point the way”, lead to homes built in a variety of styles: antique saltboxes, brick front colonials, mid-century moderns and stately estates poised on substantial grounds. But residents find that the town has lots of natural space to spread out. In fact, the 30 square mile town has almost 10 square miles devoted to open spaces that residents find are ideal for long country walks, birdwatching, running, horseback riding and other outdoor activities. Need to grocery shop, pick up a gift, grab a coffee? Locals head to Scott’s Corners, part of Pound Ridge, to stock up, fuel up, or dine out.
