Long Island Sound frontage and a century-old country club

Tucked between Indian and Cos Cob harbors, Indian Field is a Greenwich peninsula with country club prestige, lush green spaces and two gated subdivisions. The Millbrook Club’s Tudor Revival-style clubhouse and parkland-style golf course have been in the area since 1923. Tennis courts, ponds and art installations dot the hilly terrain of Bruce Park, the city’s oldest green space, established in 1908. Asphalt sidewalks stretch across the Long Island Sound’s rocky shoreline at Cos Cob Park, also home to a town-managed marina. Designer stores, art galleries and seafood restaurants are in Greenwich Avenue’s Italianate-style storefronts, less than 2 miles northwest of Indian Field. “This is one of the most desirable parts of Greenwich,” says Roseanne Benedict, a Realtor with Compass and lifelong Greenwich resident. “The houses are gorgeous, and the streets are quiet and private, but you still have easy access to Greenwich Avenue, the Connecticut Turnpike and the Cos Cob train station.”

Two gated subdivisions on Indian Field

Houses around the Milbrook Club are in the Milbrook Association, developed between the 1930s and '60s. The community has three wrought iron gated entryways. “You don’t have to join the club to live in the area, but it’s rare for people not to,” Benedict says. “Membership isn’t exclusive to just residents, but a current member has to invite you to join, even if you live in the neighborhood.” Ornamental shrubs adorn grass lawns in front of three-bedroom Minimal Traditional cottages. Rambling Tudor Revival estates sit on 1-acre lots backing up to the golf course. Buying in this area typically costs between $1 million and $5 million, a range similar to the average $3 million selling price of a home in Greenwich. A white-picket gate and 24-hour guard are at the intersection of Davis Avenue and Indian Field Road, where the Mead Point Association starts. Pitch pine and pin oak trees shade long cobblestone driveways leading to six-bedroom shingle-style estates built in the 1920s. Early 2000s contemporary homes sit on 2 acres, often with swimming pools and tennis courts in the backyard. Private sandy shorelines and wooden docks stretch behind 12,000-square-foot waterfront Colonial Revivals. Rising sea levels and severe weather put properties closest to the water at a greater risk of flooding. Inland homes can start at $15 million, while waterside options may cost around $50 million.

Tennis, golfing and swimming at the Milbrook Club

The Milbrook Club is situated on 71 acres of rolling terrain along Woodside Drive. Dark blue umbrellas shade lounge chairs around the pool, where the synchronized swim team and water polo team practice on summer mornings. Tennis balls whack against the six black clay courts, and golf balls fly over sand bunkers on the 9-hole course. Shuffleboard tables and plaid-print lounge chairs fill Overlook Grille, the club’s restaurant. A black granite and stone bar sits under a pergola on the patio dining area. New members pay an initiation fee of $68,000, while a legacy membership initiation fee is $6,000.

A scenic walk at Bruce Park or a waterside picnic at Cos Cob Park

Upon his death, textile merchant Robert Moffat Bruce donated his 60-acre estate to Greenwich, which the town later developed into Bruce Park. “I went to this park when I was a kid, and then I brought my kids here,” Benedict says. “It’s the gem of our parks department. People will spend the whole day walking around the ponds or touring the Bruce Museum.” Sidewalks and nature paths weave between flowering pink crabapple trees, white daffodils and public art displays like the welded horse statues or the green granite sundial. Geese and swans often float atop the numerous ponds surrounded by rocky outcroppings. Kids sit in the hands of the 23-foot-long bronze gorilla outside the Bruce Museum, a contemporary glass and concrete hub with art, science and natural history exhibits. Running from Florida to Maine, the 3,000-mille East Coast Greenway has a trailhead at Bruce Park. The Greenwich Power Plant is at the entryway of the 9-acre Cos Cob Park. Names of Greenwich residents who lost their lives on 9/11 are etched across two glass towers overlooking the harbor. Locals also visit the green space to enjoy waterside picnics as Greenwich Crew teams row by for practice and competitive events. Fishing and ski boats are parked at the Cos Cob Marina’s 175 slips. An American flag flies over catamarans and sailboats tied to wooden docks at the Mianus River Boat & Yacht Club. Bluefish derbies and hot dog grilling parties have been regular events at the club since 1995. The closest public beach is about 6 miles away at Greenwich Point Park.

Designer stores and seafood restaurants on Greenwich Avenue

Young oak trees and vintage streetlamps line Greenwich Avenue, a half-mile downtown district with locally owned restaurants and stores like Hermès, Tiffany & Co. and Le Labo. Abstract paintings and contemporary photography from over 70 artists fill the decade-old C. Parker Gallery. A red awning hangs over small circular tables and rattan chairs outside Bistro V, a French café known for its weekend brunch since 1990. Bartenders shake cocktails behind the white marble bar at Eastend, where patrons enjoy dishes like oysters on the half-shell and tuna crudo. A Whole Foods Market and Stop & Shop are about 2 miles north on Putnam Avenue.

Easy access to the Connecticut Turnpike and the Cos Cob MTA Station

Indian Field is a car-dependent community, as residential streets don’t have sidewalks. The Connecticut Turnpike bisects the peninsula, making New York City 40 miles south and New Haven 45 miles north. An MTA station is on Cos Cob Avenue, following the Metro-North Railroad with several stops across Connecticut and New York. Connecticut Transit bus stops are on Putnam Avenue. The Greenwich Hospital is 2 miles north, and the Westchester County Airport is 14 miles southwest.
