Greenwich
Connecticut, "The Gateway to New England" is
conveniently located 28 miles from mid-town Manhattan, yet presents a
panorama of natural beauty and picturesque charms. Its 50 square miles
encompass all aspects of country living, from its waterfront coastline
dotted with sailboats, through mid-country sprinkled with protected
conservation land and riding trails, to back country’s rolling hills
studded with polo fields and horse farms. Homes in Greenwich range from
condominiums, to attractive New England colonials, to impressive
estates and waterfront properties providing something for everyone in
this most desirable community.
