Located on the southernmost part of the Connecticut coast, Byram seamlessly blends friendly, embracing neighbors and exclusive residential life. "Byram is one of the most expensive parts of town," says Cynthia DeRiemer, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty. "In the Byram neighborhood, there are people from all over the world, and there's a strong sense of community."
Byram, a Greenwich suburb, offers a mix of residential homes. There are 1,000- to 2,000-square-foot Cape Cods and older colonials with hardwood floors and up to a half acre of backyard space, some that have been developed into multifamily dwellings, in the $500,000 to $900,000 price range. "In the more exclusive part of town, prices reflect that, with homes going for about $7 million on average. It's a strictly residential area, and when people think of Greenwich with the big expensive homes, this is where they think of," DeRiemer says. These larger, 3,000- to 5,000-square-foot Colonial Revivals and postmodern homes come equipped with up to an acre of yard space, some with fenced-in back patios and attached multi-car garages, starting around $2 million and growing upwards of $7 million for waterfront properties.

For a bite to eat, head to the shops at Byram. "There are some great restaurants in that part of town," DeRiemer says. Locals love Bar Rosina's, located in the cluster of businesses along Mill Street that make up Byram's commercial district. Bar Rosina's serves tasty Italian cuisine in a rustic setting, with hardwood floors and warm colors throughout, lending the feeling of a mother's kitchen to the restaurant. This strip of restaurants makes going out to eat in Byram a breeze, residents enjoy this walkable area on weeknights and weekends.
Residents can often be found hanging out at Byram Park, a beachfront greenspace with a pool, baseball field, and open space perfect for basking in the sun or throwing a frisbee back and forth. During the warmer months, locals enjoy grilling at the park's picnic shelters, splashing around in the water or anchoring their boats around one of the small islands near the shore. In the southern tip of the neighborhood, Hawthorne Beach offers swimming and beach access to members of the Hawthorne Beach Association.
