Connecticut colonial home in early fall

Life in Greenwich, CT

Greenwich sits on Long Island Sound at the New York line, within an hour's commute of Manhattan. It is known for Greenwich Avenue shopping, backcountry estates, and a finance scene that earned it the nickname Wall Street East. Town-owned beaches like Greenwich Point and ferry-served islands are a big part of local life.

Robert Feake, Daniel Patrick and other settlers bought the land from the Siwanoy in 1640, and Jeffrey Ferris named the town after Greenwich, England. Rail service arrived in 1848 and brought wealthy New Yorkers who built shore and backcountry estates. The Bush-Holley House in Cos Cob later became home base for the Cos Cob art colony of American Impressionists. Greenwich is a mix of New York commuters, finance professionals and long-rooted local families spread across distinct villages. Daily life runs between the train stations, Greenwich Avenue, youth sports fields and the town beaches.
