Kent, CT —
Welcome to Kent, CT, the home for everyone!

As a visitor to this quintessential New England town, you will be greeted by warm smiles and enlightening conversations with the locals. You can stay at the one of the six B and B’s and Inns where you will be spoiled by your innkeepers. Or, if you are smitten by Kent (and who isn’t), you can choose a tour of your future home with one of the real estate agents in town or nearby New Milford, CT.

As a resident of this old-fashioned yet avant-garde community, you will find the most sophisticated, charming, out of the ordinary restaurants, clothing and accessory stores, antique shops and art galleries. You will quickly find lots to do here: fun outdoor activities such as skiing at Mohawk Mountain, kayaking and canoeing on the Housatonic, horseback riding on country roads, bird watching, and hiking the Appalachian Trail. You will explore the many state parks of Kent: Kent Falls, Macedonia Brook, Lake Waramaug, and the Bull’s Bridge Covered Bridge. For the more historic buffs, you will find yourself volunteering at the Kent Historical Society and Seven Hearths Museum, the Kent Memorial Library or you may choose to assist several non-profits in the area: the Housatonic Valley Association, Kent Affordable Housing, Kent Community Fund, Kent Lion’s Foundation, and Little Guild of St. Francis, the Sherman Chamber Ensemble, or the Sherman Players, Inc. You will explore the Connecticut Antique Machinery Association, the Eric Sloane Museum and Kent Iron Foundry.

"Your family will delight in the Halloween festivities."

As a parent, your child will attend the most prestigious high schools in Northwestern CT: The Kent School, South Kent School, or the Marvelwood School; children entering school will have day care/after school programs and the Congregational Church, and preschool offerings prior to enrolling in the Kent Center School. Your children can enroll in local summer camps and as a family, you can enjoy an Earl Mosley’s Institute of the Arts Performance. Your family will delight in the Halloween festivities in Kent where your costumed children walk through town as shopkeepers open their doors to dispensing treats. Or seeing Santa Claus at one of the local shops after his annual pancake breakfast!

Convenience is paramount for a resident of Kent. Here you will find almost a dozen restaurants, a bakery, an automotive center, Kent Greenhouse and Gardens, Bartlett Tree Experts, N.M. Watson Wild Bird Supply, two banks, financial and insurance agencies, Kent Kitchen Works, two electric businesses, three legal offices, an IGA, the Kent Station Pharmacy, Senior Center, hardware store, bookshops, refurbished Community Center, liquor store, two hair salons, architects and accountants offices, three active Churches, outstanding physicians, dentists, and medical groups, Acupuncturists, and the nearby New Milford VNA and Hospice.
