    "The Essex area including Ivoryton and centerbrook is very unique and charming. The Essex steam train whistle brings you back to the past. The downtown centers of each village provides local art shops and local cuisine. The overall location to other major shopping areas is very convenient. Lastly, the schools are listed as top performing schools. "
