Places to shop, eat and restore on Route 1
Drivers will spot restaurant after restaurant along Route 1, the main commercial corridor, from fast-food places like McDonald’s to local eateries like Chester’s Barbecue, which slow-cooks its meat behind the restaurant. In Long Hill, a Japanese steak house is next to the pawn shop; the Goodwill is in the same shopping center as T.J. Maxx; and auto parts stores face each other across the street. An upscale gem like Olio, a restaurant and bar near the intersection of Route 1 and I-95, offers new takes on Italian favorites. The Village Bake House, located toward the neighborhood's center, is a casual place to enjoy handcrafted salads, wraps, sandwiches and its signature potato salad. Banks, barbershops and toy stores mingle in this Long Hill shopping district. For groceries, residents can choose from Big Y Class Market, Aldi, The Discount Food Box and some international specialty markets. Fitness fanatics can also get their workouts in close to home at Renegade Fitness or Planet Fitness, both on the strip.
Range of housing options in Long Hill
The real estate market in Groton is highly diverse. “You can look at a $3 million house and a few miles away see a $300,000 house,” Pollard says. This principle holds for Long Hill, where homes can range from $50,000 to $550,000 in less than a mile. Behind the shopping centers, developments include mobile home parks with two-bedroom units that sell for between $50,000 and $165,000. Two- and three-bedroom condominiums, some with private patios and single-car garages, are priced from $160,000 to $285,000. Subdivisions in the neighborhood feature a mix of styles, from split levels and raised ranch-styles to colonial revival homes and historic farmhouses. These single-family homes list from $200,000 to $550,000. “The city is planning to build new rental units to handle the influx of workers into the area,” Obrey says. “The hope is that some of our retired residents will move into them, which will eventually open up more homes in the market.”
Farmers markets and concerts in Washington Park
The City of Groton hosts a farmers market every Tuesday afternoon from mid-June to October in Washington Park, less than 2 miles from Long Hill. The market sells fresh fruits and vegetables grown in Connecticut, and includes local baked goods, seafood, meats, poultry and eggs. The city also sponsors a series of Friday night concerts in Washington Park during the summer. Designed for families as a fun night out, the concerts feature a variety of local bands, from R&B to country to hard rock classics. Food trucks and a concession stand open early for concertgoers.
From sports fields to fishing and kayaking in Long Hill
While Long Hill excels in shopping and dining, Groton’s parks and green spaces are only a short drive or bus ride away. In the neighborhood's southeast corner, Burrows Field is home to Groton Little League. The facility also has a boat launch into the Poquonnock River. It and the Groton Reservoir form the neighborhood’s eastern edge and are popular for boating, fishing, kayaking and canoeing. The Poquonnock River Boardwalk on the far side of the river features a playground and a pavilion with seating to enjoy the beautiful river views. Bluff Point State Park trails are down Depot Road to the south. The trails run at least 1.5 miles along the rugged shoreline to the peninsula's tip at Bluff Point and Mumford Point. Washington Park is west of Long Hill and toward the Thames River. It offers playgrounds, multiple sports fields and tennis courts. Also nearby, Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park is the site of Connecticut's largest American Revolutionary War battle. Stone walls from the fort are still intact. A granite monument and museum were built in 1830 to commemorate the battle.
Public transportation and highway access in Long Hill
Most of Long Hill is within walking distance of the shopping centers and businesses that line Route 1. Southeast Area Transit buses run along Route 1, Buddington Road and Drozdyk Drive. The New London Amtrak station is downtown, 4.5 miles away, along with ferry stations that take passengers to Long Island, Block Island and Fishers Island. Interstate 95 runs along the northern edge of Long Hill and connects drivers with Providence, 55 miles north; Boston, 115 miles north; and New York, 130 miles south.

Flood concerns in Long Hill
Most homes in Long Hill have been built outside of flood zones, except for an area on South Road along the Poquonnock River, especially where Route 1/Poquonnock Road crosses South Road. Part of the Eastwood Mobile Home Park also sees flooding off Drozdyk Drive, where there is a retaining pond.
