- Remarks addendumIt is said that there are three factors to consider when purchasing a new home: location, location and location. Our popular section of Darien is referred to as Echo Valley. It includes 4 streets: Echo Drive, Echo Drive North, Edelweiss Lane and Alpine Lane. The northern boundary is Hoyt Street and the southern boundary is the 10-acre property of the Middlesex Swim Club (MSX) and the land preserve of Olson Woods. We have lived at 6 Echo Drive for 40 years and consider it to be one of our greatest gifts. One of the neighborhood landmarks is a cupola on our roof that lights automatically each evening. Neighbors refer to it as the Echo Valley Beacon. Echo Valley is a tight-knit, family-friendly, inclusive neighborhood. As a welcoming gesture, it is our tradition to provide a neighborhood map to all new homeowners. The map provides contact information that includes the names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of all residents. Taking it one step further, the list also includes the names and the ages of all the children. There are multiple activities throughout the year that give the newcomer an opportunity to become acquainted. They include block parties, holiday parties, lemonade stands, Halloween trick-or-treat parades and pumpkin carving competitions. There are two activity hubs within walking distance of Echo Valley: Holmes Elementary School and the Middlesex Swim Club (MSX).
