Here, nature, community and convenience converge to provide a new substitute for urban living without compromising on connectivity and quality of life.

Is Wilton a Good Place to Live?

What really draws people to Wilton? It just feels like a place where you can put down roots. It’s got everything a growing family needs, from great schools and local sporting clubs to leafy parks and walking paths that wind through friendly neighbourhoods. The town centre is steadily taking shape too, with everyday essentials, welcoming cafes and plenty more on the way. Wilton’s location is another big plus.
