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.
Students in the area are part of Greenwich Public Schools, rated No. 3 in the state by Niche. With an A-plus rating overall and A-plus ratings for its clubs, activities, teachers, academics and college prep, this school district is one of the area's big draws for homebuyers with school-aged children or dependents. Byram's youngest learners can start their academic journeys at New Lebanon Elementary School, which has an A-plus rating on Niche. Western Middle School has an A rating from Niche, excellent ratings for its teachers and academic programs and a student-teacher ratio of 11 to 1. Students finish their secondary academic journey at Greenwich High School, the fourth-best high school in Connecticut, according to Niche. Greenwich High has an A-plus rating overall and A or higher ratings for its 150+ clubs, including artificial intelligence, cornhole, gambling awareness and music theory clubs.
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.
Several bus stops line Mill Street, and Interstate 95 runs through the neighborhood, making it easy for residents to get anywhere along the New England coast. Locals can drive south on the interstate for 30 miles and land in the heart of New York City, or they can drive north for 48 miles to arrive in New Haven. Byram offers an attractive mix of premium housing and waterfront neighborhood amenities like beaches, docks and parks. Its commercial district is home to popular restaurants and highway convenience, and the area's friendly community creates a welcoming atmosphere, making this Greenwich coastal suburb a desirable place to call home.
