Kent blends river-valley scenery with an engaging village center, where galleries, cafés, and independent shops line Main Street. Outdoor enthusiasts head to Kent Falls State Park and Macedonia Brook State Park for waterfalls, ridge hikes, and big-sky views, while the Appalachian Trail brushes past town and the Housatonic River invites fly-fishing and paddling. Cultural days are easy, too, with seasonal art shows and a steady calendar of community events.
Education shines: the renowned Kent School and The Marvelwood School anchor the independent school scene, and families appreciate Kent Center School (K–8) feeding into Housatonic Valley Regional High School. The Kent Memorial Library doubles as a hub for lectures, kids’ programs, and local history research.
Commuting and weekend escapes are straightforward along Route 7, with quick drives to New Milford, Cornwall, and the broader amenities of Litchfield County. For town services, permits, and an up-to-date events calendar, the Town of Kent website keeps daily life running smoothly. Between farm stands, foliage drives, and river sunsets, it’s easy to see why people put down roots here—and why second-home owners become full-time neighbors.
