Love Where you Live

LOVEWHERE YOULIVE

As REALTORS®, it is our distinct pleasure and privilege to offer homes for sale and rent, fulfilling the real estate needs of those longing to make Greenwich their home. Both 2020 and 2021 were historic years for Greenwich real estate, with record breaking sales and dollar volume. As such, this period of Rejuvenation and Rediscovery, triggered by a most unlikely set of circumstances, has reaffirmed an ardent admiration for our community and its future.

Comprised of 67 square miles of prime real estate, our town of 62,000 residents provides America’s highest quality of life thanks to its unrivaled real estate options, public safety services, school system, transportation network and recreational activities. Extraordinarily rich in history, we are proud of the heritage and exceptional, exciting and fulfilling lifestyle our town has to offer.

Greenwich boasts a wonderfully convenient location only 31 miles from Manhattan and just a 46-minute express train ride to Grand Central Station. The town is close to the three major New York metropolitan area airports, and only minutes to Westchester County Airport. Our proximity to both New York City and Boston allows us to be one of the most internationally connected towns in the U.S.

With well-run, responsible and proactive governance, Greenwich strives to maintain a payas-you-go fiscal policy that keeps your property taxes among the lowest in Connecticut and well below those in neighboring Westchester County.

The Greenwich Association of Realtors is composed of subject-matter experts. There is no one better prepared to assist you with a move to or from Greenwich than a Greenwich REALTOR®. Our organization owns the Greenwich Multiple Listing Service, which provides the richest source of the most accurate, current and robust housing information available.

Whether you are transitioning from overseas, New York City or the other side of town, Greenwich has so much to offer and many ways to immerse yourself in the community. From a premier arts and culture community to robust recreation options, Greenwich has an open, active and walkable community. For outdoor enthusiasts Greenwich is geographically blessed with 32 miles of breathtaking shoreline along Long Island Sound, as well as the rolling hills, woodlands and meadows of the backcountry dotted with lakes and streams. There are over 1,500 acres of parkland; two islands with beaches and picnic areas served by town ferries; a wonderful beach and pool at Byram Beach; 36 public tennis courts at 11 locations; and the fabulous 147-acre Greenwich Point, with its sandy shoreline and trails for biking, hiking and running. In addition, the Griffith E. Harris 18hole public golf course, designed by renowned architect Robert Trent Jones, Sr., provides everything for the avid golfer.

Our educational system is consistently rated among the best in the country. Greenwich High School has produced exceptional athletes and leaders in the worlds of business, communication and the arts. Our middle and elementary schools have been cited for their outstanding programs and for those who prefer a private education, Greenwich also has a number of schools ranked among the finest. Additionally, our young residents are entertained and enriched by organizations such as the Boys & Girls Club and the best recreational programs for miles around. Adult programs are also widely available and first-class.

As REALTORS® we are certain that once you’ve lived here, you’ll never want to call anywhere else home.
