A rural Connecticut neighborhood that stays connected
With hiking trails, working farms, a river for kayaking and state parks, Simsbury is a rural Connecticut neighborhood known for its spacious homes and sizeable lots. “People choose Simsbury for the privacy. They like that it’s not a busy area, and they feel like they’re immersed in nature,” says Realtor Katie French with Coldwell Banker, who grew up in Simsbury and has been selling real estate here for over 30 years. From small places to eat, drink and shop to local green spaces and festivals, Simsbury is where people can enjoy the quiet countryside but never lose touch with their community. “I’ve lived here since 2002, more than 20 years, and the community here is friendly and down to earth,” says Diane Conroy, a Realtor/home stager, who goes above and beyond to help her clients get results. “Homeowners stay because they have many outlets that keep them connected to each other.”

Remodeled traditional homes give Simsbury its character
Simsbury is home to residential properties, often on a third or more acres. Classic and raised ranch houses, most with their original hardwood floors, can be found here for $300,000 to $450,000. Meticulously maintained Capes, too, go on the market for $350,000 to $600,000. But colonials, from the 1880s through the 1980s, are the most popular, ranging in price from $400,000 to $1.3 million, depending on the number of updates, the scale of restoration, amenities and property size. “You won’t find as much new construction in Simsbury as traditional homes that have been remodeled,” Conroy says. “They give the town its character.” Condos in the neighborhood list for as low as $20,000 for a studio and as much as $300,000 for a three-bedroom. “People who grew up in Simsbury often move back to raise their children,” French says. “There’s a community feel here that allows you to get as involved as you want.”
Modern homes are common in newer Simsbury developments.
