Stamford
Homes and Coastal Communities Stamford’s waterfront properties are coming in to their own and becoming a real value play compared to Greenwich.

Most of the Coastal communities in Stamford are only minutes from the lively downtown area and are convenient to the Metro North station making them popular with commuters. The demand for real estate in the waterfront communities have continued to remain robust throughout the summer months.

There are many private associations and small coastal communities boasting private beaches along with spectacular views and amenities such as deep water docks, tennis courts and swimming pools.

The largest water community in Stamford is the Cove area which consists of approximately 3000 single family homes and condominiums. Stamford’s Cove area coastline is bordered the Cove Harbor, Westcott Cove and by Holly Pond which is a waterway fed by the Noroton River overlooking the coastline of Darien. The Cove is home to Stamford’s largest public beach the Cove Park. The Cove park is over 83 acres and has a wonderfully diverse shoreline with sandy beaches, rocky points and grassy picnic spots. There are public docks, a mile long walking trail, a playground, bike paths, an ice skating rink, designated rollerblading areas and picnic areas. The park is also home to Sound Waters, a non-profit educational organization which is housed in the beautiful historic Federalist-styled Holly House which was built in 1791. A recent waterfront sale with views of Holly Pond sold for a little over 1.2 Million in a multiple bid situation. In the private Dolphin Cove association, there is an elegant clubhouse Most

Shippan Point was actually named by the Native Americans who sold the land in 1640 to the English settlers. There are approximately 1,150 homes and condominiums in a wide variety of styles in this area. Some of the period homes dating to the early 1900’s help to create a visually stimulating canvas include classic Tudor’s, large waterfront Colonials with sweeping porches, restored Victorians and the Marion Castle built in 1914 for silent film producer Frank J. Marion. This is the only structure in Shippan listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many of these home’s are located along Ocean Drive East and Ocean Drive West which forms a small loop around the peninsula. Shippan
Avenue is the Street which bisects the peninsula and many of the Streets
which run west and east off of this Avenue are comprised
of small neighborhood associations with private beaches. Entry level
