Beyond Greenwich

Beyond Greenwich, there are 22 additional Fairfield County communities and 169 state-wide. If Greenwich doesn’t fit your requirements, there are other locations within a reasonable proximity and in the further reaches of Connecticut that offer alternative inducements for residential life and business. The comprehensive relocation assistance provided by Edward Mortimer and the Mortimer Group can help you find the appropriate venue no matter the criteria.

Fairfield County is widely recognized as one of the most prestigious addresses in the U.S. and the communities bordering Long Island Sound and inland stretching eastward from Greenwich to Fairfield are commonly called - in the rest of state - “The Gold Coast.”

Next door to Greenwich, Stamford has a 100,000-plus population and a downtown with high-rise office and apartment buildings creating a big-city skyline clustered around the structurally symbolic six-building Landmark Square complex, topped by a main tower thrusting 23 stories into the sky. North Stamford is regarded as an upscale residential enclave and so is Shippan Point jutting into the sound.

Norwalk, a community with a polyglot population between Greenwich and Stamford in size, offers a lifestyle attractive to the boating set, especially in two tony shoreline neighborhoods, Wilson Point and Rowayton which has the added allure of a professional outdoor Shakespeare festival. Norwalk’s shorefront and beaches - and the Norwalk Islands with their abundant bird life - lend themselves to fishing, watersports and tanning but are less suited for swimming because of limitations of the water quality.

A number of other communities, all with populations of 20,000 or so, are known for their quality of life and amenities that accommodate people who commute to New York. Westport, for example, retains the vestiges of the writers’and artists’ colony it once was and emits a creative vitality radiating from the summer concerts at the outdoor Levitt Pavilion and the Westport Playhouse, a fixture on the national professional theater circuit and synonymous with Joanne Woodward and her husband Paul Newman.

New Canaan and Darien are bedroom communities studded with residential retreats. Further inland are the woodsy towns of Ridgefield, Redding and Wilton, which are active centers for horseback riding, and Easton and Weston.

At the northern reach of the county is Danbury and the 200-outlet Darien Fair Mall, one of the largest malls in New England. The area is also serviced by the two-runway, 250-acre Danbury Municipal Airport for private aviation.

The most heavily-populated city in the state, Bridgeport, is also in Fairfield County. Bridgeport is a diverse center (P.T. Barnum was once the Mayor) of 140,000 people which shares Igor Sikorsky Memorial Airport with neighboring Stratford. The two runaways are considered too short to accommodate practically regular scheduled carrier service today. But U.S. Helicopter provides a link with the Downtown Manhattan Heliport and JFK International Airport.

Connecticut’s two largest centers outside Fairfield County, both with about 125,000 are the state capital, Hartford, known as the Insurance City, and New Haven, home of Yale University and the world-acclaimed Yale Medical Center.

At the extreme eastern part of the state, halfway between New York and Boston, is New London and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and Old Groton, an old whaling port and the home of General Dynamics Electric Boat, a provider of submarines for the U.S. Navy for more than 100 years.

Litchfield County in the northwest sector of the state is a prolific source of fine antiques and historic towns such as Cornwall, Goshen, Kent, Roxbury and Lakeville, also the site of the Old Lime Race Track, a NASCAR stop and the home of one of Skip Barber’s racing schools.

If your passion is beyond Greenwich, Edward Mortimer and the Mortimer Group can provide exemplary service through its partner relationships throughout the state.
