An upscale waterfront community on the Long Island Sound
Old Greenwich is a relaxing community along Connecticut's coast, home to local businesses and with easy access to the beach. "It's a very sophisticated, yet old-fashioned small town with a variety of people from many backgrounds that are very down to earth and fun to be with," says Cynthia De Riemer, an award-winning Realtor and local in Old Greenwich. "You bump into people that you know, but then you’re always meeting someone new, which means there's usually fresh new ideas and lots of community spirit.” Many streets here are marked for private residences, where New England and Cape Cod homes show off gambrel roofs, dormer windows and shingle siding. Its cozy downtown features new and old stone buildings with small boutiques, a bookstore and restaurants. Students attend top-rated schools within the Greenwich Public School district, which is the No. 5 best school district in Connecticut and scores an A-plus on Niche.
Swimming and sunbathing at Greenwich Point Park
Old Greenwich is one of the more desirable Greenwich neighborhoods because "it is one of the shorefront communities. Greenwich Point Park, we call it Tod's Point, is the crown jewel of amenities within all of Greenwich," De Riemer says. "People put in their kayaks and sailboats, swim and picnic at the beautiful beach and can hike the multiple trails." Binney Park is across the street from Perrot Memorial Library, with walking paths and sports fields. A pavilion rests on the island within the park’s pond, where visitors can ice skate in the wintertime or view 4th of July firework shows in summer. Innis Arden Golf Club, established in 1899, offers its members an 18-hole golf course, swimming pool, racquet sports courts and fitness center.

Community events at the Parrot Library and beachfront
For such a close-knit community, it’s no wonder that Old Greenwich hosts several annual and weekly events. “One of the things I love about Greenwich is that the libraries are amazing. Perrot Library is a very beloved amenity in town,” De Riemer says. “They have events for kids, like Perrot in your PJs, where they go at 7 pm for bedtime stories, which is cute. They also have a variety of speakers and authors who come in weekly.” The library also hosts Movies in the Park at Binney Park in the summertime. During the 4th of July, residents can camp out at Binney Park or on the coastline at Greenwich Point Park to watch the fireworks shows.
