Cos Cob

Greenwich's most attainable village, with Mianus River charm

Cos Cob is the village immediately east of central Greenwich, straddling the Mianus River as it empties into Cos Cob Harbor. Historically a fishing village and later the home of the Cos Cob art colony (an important early American Impressionist community), the neighborhood today is the most attainable entry point into Greenwich — entry-level single-family homes here trade for meaningfully less than comparable houses in Old Greenwich or central Greenwich. The housing stock is varied: 1920s capes and bungalows along the harbor, mid-century colonials in the inland sections, and a small but growing share of new construction. Buyers come to Cos Cob for the Greenwich school district, the easy Metro-North commute, and the price-to-quality ratio.
