Northwest New London Homes for Rent

Northwest New London is a small neighborhood conveniently located near major employers, colleges, shopping centers, and recreational areas, thanks to its proximity to Interstate 95 and public transit. Residents can easily access the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, naval submarine bases, and Connecticut College. The neighborhood features a variety of home styles, including colonial-style homes from the late 1800s, charming 1930s bungalows, midcentury ranches and duplexes, and newer condos and townhouses. Many homes have been updated with modern amenities while retaining their original character. The area is safer than the national average, with most homes situated on low-traffic streets, making it suitable for families. For those seeking things to do, Northwest New London offers fishing at Perry Pond and Brandegee Lake, and outdoor activities at the Connecticut College Arboretum, which includes walking trails and hosts events. The nearby New London Mall provides convenient shopping and dining options, including ShopRite, PetSmart, Bob’s Discount Furniture, Chili’s, and Panda Buffet. Public transportation is accessible, with SEAT buses and the New London Amtrak station downtown. Major cities like Providence, Boston, and New York are within driving distance via Interstate 95.
