New residents can enjoy many features throughout the property such as a guest suite, communal dining area with entertainment kitchen and beer tap, lending library with everything from household items to an Xbox and electric scooters, landscaped courtyard with grills, 24-hour fitness center and work-from-home spaces.

Abundant on-site surface parking makes the retail easily accessible and shopping more convenient. Darien Commons also features a brand-new 12,000 s/f Walgreens and a recently renovated Equinox club.
