Shippan
Stamford's waterfront peninsula — country-club living on the Sound
Shippan Point is the peninsula jutting south from downtown Stamford into Long Island Sound, anchored by the Woodway Country Club and Cummings Park. Housing is dominated by mid-century colonials, a meaningful stock of waterfront homes (some with private docks), and a smaller share of new and renovated estates. Shippan buyers tend to be Stamford-area professionals who want a waterfront or water-view home, access to private beaches via the Shippan Point Association, and a 5-minute drive to downtown Stamford's restaurants and offices. The neighborhood is quieter and more residential than its proximity to downtown suggests, with a strong association-based community feel.
