Southport
Historic harbor village — pre-Revolutionary homes, yacht club, walkability
Southport is the harbor-side village within the town of Fairfield, organized around the Southport Harbor and a walkable village center of pre-Revolutionary Federal homes, the Pequot Library, and the Pequot Yacht Club. The neighborhood is one of the most architecturally intact 18th and 19th-century villages on the Connecticut shoreline — a number of houses on Pequot Avenue and Harbor Road predate the American Revolution. Housing stock outside the historic core mixes 1920s-1940s shingled colonials, a smaller share of new construction farmhouses, and waterfront homes around the harbor. Southport has its own Metro-North station (Southport, MTA express times around 75-80 minutes to Grand Central). Buyers come for the village walkability, the harbor, and one of the most distinctive historic atmospheres in southern New England.
