Old Greenwich
Family-friendly waterfront village with Greenwich Point Beach
Old Greenwich is the easternmost village of Greenwich, organized around Sound Beach Avenue's walkable downtown and the much-loved Greenwich Point Park (locals call it Tod's Point) — a 147-acre peninsula with one of the best public beaches in lower Fairfield County. The housing stock is heavily weighted toward 1920s-1940s shingled colonials, capes, and farmhouses on quarter- to half-acre lots, with a smaller stock of waterfront and water-view homes commanding a meaningful premium. Old Greenwich is the Greenwich village families pick when they want walkability, the beach, a tight community feel, and the Riverside or Old Greenwich schools (both highly rated). The Old Greenwich Metro-North station puts you at Grand Central in about 60 minutes.
