As for a piece of Wilton history - the home was once owned by a family member of the Gimbel brothers, owners of the famous department store featured in "Miracle on 34th Street." It originally served as a country house, screened around the entire perimeter. During Prohibition, the house was converted into Wilton's speakeasy.

    "Recently moved to Wilton and absolutely love it. We love going for family walks in the nature trails, or just taking a walk to the local restaurants or cafes. The parks are clean and well maintained, the rivers and lakes are clear and looked after. The Wilton community is friendly and welcoming, it’s a great place to call home."

    "Beautiful neighborhood, over rated schools. High taxes, high debt, Low turnout on budget issues. Poor road maintenance, wasted money on new school, with declining school age population. Retail outlets closing, with no incentives to stay. No plan to attract new businesses. A pompous attitude prevails by a community who time past by"

    "We live here and it is the best place we have ever lived! We thought when we bought it that we would move in a couple of years, but now we know this has everything we need and is safe, walkable, pet friendly, conveniently located and the neighborhood community is awesome. Having 4 bedrooms and a detached house with plenty of parking for our family and guests makes living easy. Our resident board and the management company are proactive and approachable. The grounds and upkeep through every season have been outstanding, nothing to complain about! These houses rarely come on the market and when they do there are always multiple bids. This has proven to be an amazing investment. Grumman Village possesses a desirable and stable mixed neighborhood of families, singles, couples and retirees."
