Riverside
Quiet sister village to Old Greenwich, with the same coveted schools
Riverside sits just west of Old Greenwich along the eastern edge of Greenwich, bordered by the Mianus River and Long Island Sound. The neighborhood is largely residential, anchored by Riverside Elementary School (consistently among the highest-rated in Connecticut), a small commercial strip on East Putnam Avenue, and the Riverside Yacht Club. Housing is dominated by 1930s-1960s colonials and a smaller share of new construction on subdivided estate lots. Riverside is slightly less expensive on average than Old Greenwich while serving the same school and offering the same lifestyle — many buyers compare the two side by side. Riverside has its own Metro-North station with the same trip time to NYC.
