Woodmont
Life's a beach
The coastal lifestyle of Woodmont focuses on the miles of pristine beaches that serve as the neighborhood’s eastern border. Whether it’s on Woodmont Beach, Spencer Street Beach, Morningside Beach or any of the other spots along the sound, residents here never have to look far to find a stretch of sand where they can relax and unwind. Adjacent to Woodmont Beach, residents will find a community park with a playground, a basketball court and a large open field for working off extra energy. The park is also the site of Woodmont Day, an annual celebration to welcome the summer season. The event kicks off with 5K run around the borough, and the fun continues with a parade and a full schedule of games, food and music. Woodmont residents mark the date every year on their calendars, as they look forward to getting together with friends and neighbors to sit in lawn chairs, eat burgers and fries and enjoy live music, as well as each other's company. Pickleball players can get in the kitchen on the courts at Howard Park, which also offers access to a playground. Tennis players need not feel left out, as the neighborhood has four courts available for public use at the Anderson Avenue Tennis Courts. Golfers will have to travel a little further, but only about 5 miles to Orchards Golf Course, a nine-hole course complete with a pro shop.

Quintessential New England homes
Homes in Woodmont tend to reflect the sense of coastal sophistication that Jossen references. The neighborhood offers a quintessential New England vista, with a variety of architectural styles that include Cape Cods, cottages and farmhouse-style homes, along with more contemporary builds. One element that is uniform throughout the neighborhood is the care residents show in landscaping. Short, well-maintained grass is the norm, and many residents decorate their front yards with colorful shrubbery and crisp hedgerows. The median home price here is around $505,000, and buyers should expect to pay an average of $349 per square foot. Buyers can choose from condominiums that range in price from $150,000 for a one-bedroom/one-bathroom unit to $600,000 for a two-bedroom/two-bathroom penthouse unit with ocean views. Single-family home prices start at $250,000 for a two-bedroom/one-bathroom ranch-style and go up to $2 million for a four-bedroom/four-bathroom new construction home that looks out on Long Island Sound. “It’s a very family-friendly neighborhood that is a very tight-knit community,” says Jossen. “At the same time, empty-nesters love it, too, because it’s a peaceful area that’s close to the beach. And it’s more affordable than a lot of other towns along the coast.”Those interested in buying in Woodmont need to be aware that it is a borough of Milford, meaning the neighborhood provides municipal services for residents beyond what the city offers. As a result, there is an additional yearly tax assessment that residents must pay in addition to those paid to the city.

Nearby shopping and superb dining
Stop & Shop, Target and Walmart are all located nearby, just across Interstate 95 from the neighborhood, so residents don’t have to travel far for groceries or other household necessities. In the same area is the Connecticut Post Mall for those times when the need for shopping requires attention. With retailers from Macy’s and Boscov’s to Rue21 and Zumiez, the Connecticut Post Mall has shoppers covered. The mall also features a Cinemark theater with 14 movie screens, Big Red’s Amusements for lovers of video games and even a lounge with couches, a big-screen TV and free Wi-Fi.When it’s time to dine out, Bonfire Grill is a casual, beachfront restaurant that serves a variety of sandwiches, burgers and seafood, and diners can choose to eat inside or on the outdoor patio. Locals swear by the lobster roll, with hand-picked lobster meat simmered in butter served on a New England roll. When the occasion calls for something a little more upscale, Village Bistro serves an eclectic assortment of European-inspired dishes and tapas, as well as a cocktail list that includes specialty drinks and an extensive wine list.
