Sprawling residential lots in Coleytown
Coleytown homes often bear colonial or contemporary architecture, but homebuyers can also find large Cape Cods, luxury modern ranch styles and split levels. Homes tend to start at $735,000, which will generally secure around 2,400 square feet, three bedrooms and three bathrooms on just over 2 acres of land. Average prices range from $1.5 million to $4 million, though some newer, customized homes can surpass $10 million. “There are estate properties and antique homes here for people who favor bigger and more private lots, with room for pools and/or tennis courts,” Klaff says. Homes in the million-dollar price range tend to have added amenities like pools, outdoor entertainment spaces and spa areas. Properties often sit far from the roads and tucked under towering trees, which adds a layer of privacy and a sense of seclusion. Streets typically don’t have sidewalks, and residents may have to walk lengthy driveways to check their mail.

Hiking and water activities in Coleytown
There are numerous outdoor recreation spots in the area, including the Newman-Poses Preserve, an homage to Paul Newman that has trails across a variety of environments, such as wooded sections and small bodies of water. Larger rivers, like the nearby Saugatuck, provide places for swimming and fly fishing. Two popular country clubs, Aspetuck Valley and the Patterson Club, are also within a few miles. Klaff says that many residents opt to join Longshore, about 7 miles away, as well, which is a private town-owned facility with an 18-hole golf course, pools, tennis and pickleball courts. Sailing school is also available at the Longshore Inn, which is under renovation. Compo Beach is another well used spot that sits about 7 miles away and features a playground, sandy waterfront space and a food, beverage and ice cream pavilion.
