Old Hill
North Westport — wooded estates, horse country, top schools
Old Hill is the wooded northwest section of Westport, characterized by 2-4 acre lots, mature oak and beech canopy, and a housing stock that ranges from historic stone-and-shingle estates to recent new construction farmhouses. The neighborhood is the most rural-feeling part of Westport — a few miles inland from the Sound, with horse properties and small farms scattered between the larger estates. Old Hill buyers typically want privacy, the Westport schools (particularly Coleytown Elementary and Bedford Middle), and the option of a more substantial house and lot than is available in the closer-to-water sections of town. The trade-off: a longer drive to the train, the beach, and the village.
