Covering 60 square miles, Newtown is located at the top of a scenic ridge in the Berkshire foothills. Corporate headquarters and utility offices dominate the local economy. Planners have limited the number of housing subdivisions and ensured vast areas of open space ensure to keep growth from disturbing the pristine countryside. Several nearby lakes add to the recreational possibilities, including a nature center, state and local parks, sports facilities, equestrian facilities, skating rinks, country clubs, senior/youth centers, tennis, and golf. Neighboring Brookfield is a fast-growing community that offers a suburban lifestyle against the backdrop of colonial charm. New construction harmonizes with well-kept older homes along tree-shaded streets, and many homes enjoy spectacular waterfront views. Brookfield Center creates an idyllic "postcard image" with white steepled church, general store, and historic homes.
