North Branford offers quaint living close to New Haven
Less than 10 miles from New Haven, North Branford offers forested homes and quaint living while staying close to some of Connecticut’s most popular attractions. “You’re in a more secluded part of the state, but still less than 30 minutes from the beach and New Haven,” says Eileen Smith, a Realtor with Pearce Real Estate, who’s been selling homes in the area since 1992. Homes can sit along winding country roads with several acres of land or can be neatly arranged in subdivisions. Lake Gaillard is in the area’s center and provides drinking water to most of New Haven County, but anyone looking for some space to play can visit beaches in Branford or nearby lakes.
Lake Gaillard is a stunning natural reservoir in the heart of North Branford.

Mix of traditional and contemporary styles
Homebuyers can find ranch-style homes, Cape Cods and colonials from the mid- to late-1900s, as well as contemporary-style homes built in the last 25 years. “As New Haven has gotten more expensive, there’s been a slight uptick in new homes being built here,” says Smith. Houses in subdivisions sit on modestly sized lots, while rural properties usually sit on 1 to 5 acres of land. Smaller and older homes typically sell for around $200,000 to $500,000, while larger and newer houses usually go for $500,000 to $775,000. A few lakeside homes have sold for roughly $940,000 to $1 million.
For buyers looking for a solid starter home, North Branford's ranch style neighborhoods offer great value with homes.
For buyers who appreciate a home with real history and character, North Branford's well maintained older colonials are worth a serious look.
