Belle Haven
Gated peninsula of waterfront estates, Greenwich's most exclusive enclave
Belle Haven occupies a private peninsula on the south side of Greenwich, bounded on three sides by Long Island Sound and reached through a guarded gate. It is the most expensive residential neighborhood in Greenwich and one of the most exclusive in Connecticut, with a housing stock of waterfront estates on multi-acre lots, many of them historic — Belle Haven was developed at the end of the 19th century as a summer colony for New York industrialists and bankers, and a number of those original mansions remain. The neighborhood maintains its own private club, beach, and yacht club. Buyers here are almost exclusively buyers of secondary or primary trophy homes, with budgets that price most of the rest of the market out of consideration.
