A charming coastal community on the Connecticut state line.

Commuter Suburb Golf MTA Public Transportation Coastal Diverse

Right across the Connecticut state line from Greenwich sits Port Chester, a vibrant suburban village on Long Island Sound. Since a major revitalization effort in the late 1990s, the community has experienced a stellar series of improvements while still retaining a historic small-town atmosphere, particularly in its walkable downtown.

Numerous public parks and access to the water make it very convenient to enjoy the outdoors, and several golf courses in the immediate surrounding area provide ample opportunities for folks to hit the links. The trip to Manhattan is only about one hour, and with MTA rail service available, residents have easy access to New York, New Haven, and beyond.
