A rural, spacious northern Connecticut community with access to Hartford’s offerings
Idyllic West Granby is a rural paradise, perfect for homebuyers who want enough room to stretch their legs. Houses here tend to be on large lots with plenty of trees, and residents are happy to sit on the front porch, take in the sights and wave at cars as they drive by, which probably won't be very often. “The area is very farm and horse friendly,” Anna Sogliuzzo, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New England Properties and a resident of the area for the past 20 years says. “40% of the land here is protected and preserved space that won’t be touched. There’s a lot of outdoor space for walking and hiking.”
