Multi-million-dollar estates in Mid-Country West
Custom-built estates on 2-to-20-acre plots dot Mid-Country West’s winding, asphalt roads. “You won’t find any two houses that look the same here because they’re all custom,” Burke says. “Most of them were also built between the 1950s and ‘90s, which is newer for Greenwich. Houses closer to the water were built in the early 1900s.” Stone walls surround clapboard Colonial Revivals. Wrought iron fences guard long driveways leading to six-bedroom French chateau-style homes. Private swimming pools and tennis courts sit behind red-brick Georgian Revivals. Dense canopies of eastern white pine and red maple trees shade 8,000-square-foot Cape Cods. Compared to a Greenwich home’s average $3 million selling price, Mid-Country West homes on 2 acres typically start at $3 million, while properties with more land may cost upwards of $10 million.Kids can enjoy summers at Camp Simmons or read at the Greenwich Library
Besides the country club, Mid-Country West is home to several other recreational hubs. Camp Simmons spans 77 acres just off Lake Avenue. Kids can kayak and fish on the private pond, learn to shoot a bow and arrow at the archery range and tie-dye t-shirts in the crafting cabin. The YMCA of Greenwich on Putnam Avenue has a fitness center and pool inside a Greek Revival-style building from 1916. On the same street, Greenwich Library’s three-story glass and limestone building regularly hosts preschool story times and local art showings in the gallery. Gravel hiking trails and a sandy shoreline stretch across Greenwich Point Park, a public beach alongside the Long Island Sound, about 9 miles southeast of Mid-Country West.A grades for Greenwich Public Schools
Children here can attend Parkway School and Central Middle, both of which have A grades from Niche. Then, students may continue to Greenwich High School, where they are offered 32 Advanced Placement classes, including German, European history and physics. Tudor-style buildings fill Eagle Hill School’s 17-acre campus on Glenville Road. Since 1975, the boarding school has specialized in educating students with language-based learning disabilities.Round Hill Club has been here for a century
Ivy covers Round Hill Club’s English cottage-style stone clubhouse, built in 1924. After a $100,000 initiation fee, annual dues typically cost around $15,000. “Like many country clubs in Greenwich, Round Hill is invitation-only, and the wait list is years long,” Burke says. White umbrellas shade lounge chairs around the L-shaped swimming pool. A striped green and white awning hangs over the outdoor dining area. Pot sand bunkers, pin oak trees and a few manmade water hazards dot the 18-hole golf course. Inside, the club has a fitness center and rubber tennis courts. Greenwich Country Club and Burning Tree Country Club are nearby in neighboring Mid-Country East.Locals can reach New York City by car or MTA train
Mid-Country West is car-dependent, as residential streets don’t have sidewalks. The Connecticut Turnpike is about 5 miles south of the neighborhood, making New York City 35 miles south and New Haven 45 miles north. New Haven is equidistant via Merritt Parkway, immediately west of the neighborhood. Next to the turnpike, the Greenwich MTA Station follows the Metro-North Railroad with several stops across New York and Connecticut. Bus riders will find several Connecticut Transit stops along Putnam Avenue. Greenwich Hospital is on Perryridge Road, and the Westchester County Airport is about 8 miles to the west.Groceries on Putnam Avenue or high-end shopping on Greenwich Avenue
Locals can grab groceries at the Stop & Shop or Whole Foods on Putnam Avenue, also home to several luxury car dealerships and fast-food restaurants like Dunkin’. “Putnam Avenue is for running errands, and Greenwich Avenue is more for shopping sprees or a night out,” Burke says. Potted pink inpatients hang from the vintage lampposts lining Greenwich Avenue, a half-mile-long commercial strip with stores like Saks Fifth Avenue, Hermès and Le Labo. Renaissance-style paintings decorate the ceiling of Terra, known for its wood-fired pizza and handmade pasta since 1991. Casks adorn the reclaimed wood walls at Harvest, a seafood restaurant serving around 50 bottles of wine.
