Cos Cob is a family-oriented community with parks and trails
A close-knit, casual neighborhood of Greenwich, Cos Cob is minutes from golf courses and spectacular views of the water. “Cos Cob has something so special about it — it brings you back to your roots,” says Kristen Studwell, an agent with Compass and a Greenwich native who has lived in Cos Cob for more than seven years. “It’s very family-oriented, and we have access to parks and nature trails, which is a fantastic perk.” Along the main thoroughfares in Cos Cob, sidewalks allow pedestrians to safely explore small businesses. Residential streets curve past maple and evergreen trees and are met with waist-high hedges or tidy stone walls.

Dining and shopping along East Putnam Avenue
Along East Putnam Avenue, residents can find several spots to enjoy a sit-down meal or to grab ingredients to prepare something at home. “Rinaldi’s Deli has been serving the community for over 30 years. It’s run by Steven Vizzo, a Cos Cob native — he greets everyone with a smile,” Studwell says. Some other local favorites are the Little Pub Greenwich, The Cos Cobber and Louie’s. Though there’s a Whole Foods less than 2 miles away, specialty shops such as Fjord Fish Market, Scarpelli’s Sausage and Greenwich Cheese Company offer convenience and fresh flavors. There are a few boutiques as well, including habitatgreenwich, which has a curated selection of home décor. For more retail options, Greenwich Avenue is the go-to spot.

The Montgomery Pinetum Park is a peaceful retreat
Scattered throughout the community are an abundance of parks and recreational facilities. “The Montgomery Pinetum Park is one of our favorite weekend adventures with our kids and dogs,” Studwell says. “We get lost in the beauty — it is a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.” The Bible Street Park has a couple of playgrounds and several sports fields. “During the summer, they have a camp that’s a favorite among Cos Cob families,” Studwell says. “Local elementary gym teachers created it to let the kids be kids again — they get to play stickball and field day-type games.” Aspiring ballerinas can take lessons at Beam & Barre, and art lovers of all ages can sign up for lessons at Make-Modern.
School programs are run all year long at Montgomery Pinetum Park in Cos Cob.
