Martha Stewart's Leaving Westport

.c The Associated Press


WESTPORT, Conn. (AP) - Martha Stewart is moving out of this wealthy Connecticut suburb, fed up with what she calls an ``unfriendly neighborhood atmosphere' and a difficult commute to New York City.

In a piece Stewart wrote for The New York Times Magazine on Sunday, she said she is sad to think about leaving the town she has called home for 28 years. But she said Westport ``just doesn't work' for her any more.

Stewart said that although she used to be friendly with her neighbors, today she knows few of them. She said she offered fresh eggs or garden produce to newcomers, and was rebuffed twice - ``once with a slammed door!'

``As hard as it will be to leave my Westport home, I no longer feel connected to the neighborhood, the neighbors or even the town,' she said.

Stewart said she will probably live in Manhattan full time, though she may end up moving to another town near the city.

Stewart is chief executive officer of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, a publisher of books and magazines, and producer of a syndicated column and a TV program that gives homemaking and entertaining tips.

Susan Magrino, a spokeswoman for Stewart, said she will continue to film her television show at her studio in Westport. Stewart filmed the show at her home until 1998, when she opened a new studio across town.

Magrino also said Stewart has no immediate plans to sell her house in Westport.
