High-end estates and smaller New England styles in Sasco
When many think of the neighborhood, they think of Sasco Hill Road, an elevated roadway with multi-million-dollar mansions and sweeping views of the golf course and Long Island Sound. Here, modern estates with colonial and Victorian-inspired designs are accompanied by spacious lawns and private pools. Housing prices fluctuate between $3 million and $12 million, though some listing prices rise as high as $25 million. East of Sasco Hill Road, properties are smaller and less expensive. Gridded, residential streets have classic New England homes with blooming landscaping and shrubbery. Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals from the mid-to-late 1900s are priced between $850,000 and $2 million. Though houses are near the coast, RiskFactor says they generally have a minimal risk of flooding.

A neighborhood beach, country club and nearby yacht club in Sasco
Coastal recreation is the focal point in Sasco, as the shoreline community sits on the Southport Harbor and the Long Island Sound. “Back in the day, the harbor was where they used to ship out the produce that nearby farms grew, like apples and onions,” Tritschler says. “But now it’s all recreation.” A few houses along the harbor have private docks and direct water access, but many other boaters join the Pequot Yacht Club, which is a mile west of the neighborhood. Sasco also has its own beach; the sandy stretch is a popular place to picnic, relax and swim on the Long Island Sound. Residents may also join the Country Club of Fairfield, where they go golfing, play tennis with neighbors and swim at the club’s pools.

Interstate 95 and commuter trains keep residents connected
While there aren’t sidewalks along the residential roads, Tritschler says it’s still common to see people out on walks or jogging along the quiet streets. Residents may be able to walk to the Country Club of Fairfield or the beach but rely on cars to run errands or commute to work. Interstate 95 is just north of the neighborhood, allowing drivers to travel throughout Fairfield County or drive 58 miles southwest to New York City. Many commuters headed to Manhattan take the train instead; the Southport station and the Fairfield station are both about 2 miles from the neighborhood. Both are serviced by Metro-North Railroad’s New Haven line, which takes 70 to 90 minutes to reach Grand Central Terminal.Restaurants and retail stores along Post Road
Post Road, Fairfield’s main drag lined with stores and restaurants, runs through the neighborhood. Here, locals can find eateries like Gruel Britannia, a British restaurant that serves fish and chips, scones and full English breakfast platters. There’s also Martel Bistro & Bar, a trendy spot serving French and American fare. Less than 2 miles from the neighborhood, also on Post Road, diners find casual community favorites like Rawley’s Drive-In, where they can order hot dogs and milkshakes. Supermarkets like Stop & Shop and retail stores like HomeGoods are under 3 miles from Sasco.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
