Craftsman homes on 2 acre lots
Two-story, four-bedroom Craftsman homes with stone and siding are common throughout Bloom. “When you aren’t in a subdivision, you have a 2-acre lot minimum,” says Shari Smith, a broker with e-Merge Real Estate and Bloom resident. This option leads to the development of newer homes as people build houses on lots to meet their needs. Subdivisions are older farmlands divided up into smaller lots for more structure. Older homes are split-levels with a midcentury modern feel. Long driveways with trees and homes growing further from the road create a quiet, private environment in Bloom.Homes in Bloom range from $240,000 to $400,000. “The older homes are often less expensive,” Smith says. “But the area has lower taxes and a little less per square foot than other places in Fairfield County.” With larger lot sizes, homeowners in Bloom can get more for their investment, even when building a home.

The park has comprehensive trails, with options for horseback riding on the Sassafras Trail, but many residents go here to walk or exercise pets.
