A rural setting stocked with prime Southeast Connecticut resources
Ledyard, a rural community of family-owned businesses, farms and nature preserves, has a lot more going for it than meets the eye. “We’re close to the naval submarine base in Groton,” says Merry Cassabria, a broker associate at Re/Max Realty Group in Gales Ferry. Cassabria has lived in Ledyard for nearly 30 years and has been selling homes locally for nearly 25. “We have military personnel in our town and scientists and engineers at Pfizer and Electric Boat. The schools are good, and the community gets together for activities and fundraisers that benefit local organizations like the Linda Davis Food Pantry. Foxwoods Resort Casino is in Ledyard, and if you travel north, you’ll hit Mohegan Sun, another casino south of Norwich.”
With all these resources nearby, Ledyard is still a place where people are born and raised and stay. Homebuyers often find more land than house in Ledyard compared to neighboring cities and towns. “It’s a bedroom community for some,” says Realtor Jackie Kapusta with Navick Properties LLC, who moved to Ledyard after college and has sold real estate here since 2012. “It’s a quieter atmosphere, with little industry, so taxes are higher. But you’re only minutes from the grocery store, restaurants and local businesses. It feels like a small town, and I’ve known more than one couple who have moved away and come back because they miss the community.”

Ledyard homes that fit budgets and work commutes
In Ledyard, homebuyers can choose from a range of styles and price points. “There aren’t many antique homes built in the 1800s like you’d find in Norwich,” Kapusta says. “Instead, there’s a mixture of newer homes built in the 2000s and older homes built in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s.” Both signal booms in Ledyard’s growth over the past half-century. Manufactured homes, some with covered front porches, are priced between $45,000 and $220,000. Condos often come with community amenities and can list for $150,000 to $250,000. Single-family homes are the most common; they range in style from ranch-styles and raised ranches to Cape Cods and colonials, and sell for $150,000 to $650,000. Whether it’s a new custom colonial on an acre of land or a manufactured home in a quiet rural park, these properties are only minutes away from major employers like Electric Boat, the Naval Submarine Base and Pfizer.
