Move to Greenwich CT

When you think of cities and towns in Connecticut, you think of rolling hills, beautiful landscapes, and friendly people.  Well look no further because greenwich ct is all of that and more.  The town of greenwich ct is located in Fairfield County and has about 61,000 people that make up its total population.  Being the southernmost and westernmost part of Connecticut, greenwich ct is just a short train ride into Grand Central Terminal in New York City.  You will find that many people who live in greenwich ct work in many of New York City’s boroughs.  A few years back, CNN/Money ranked greenwich ct twelfth on its list of 100 best places to live in the United States.  As stated, many of the residents live here but work in New York because of the short commute and ease of transportation.  With its own stop on the Metro North line, Greenwich is a little over half an hour from New York City.

Greenwich has five zip codes which consist of Cos Cob, Riverside, Old Greenwich, and two for Greenwich itself.  To understand the great town of Greenwich, you will have to look into its rich history.  Greenwich was settled in 1640 and incorporated as a town fifteen years later.  Greenwich saw a few battles during the American Revolution but for the most part was spared of anything too serious during the early part of the town’s history.  The town is over 67 square miles and it is twice as large as Manhattan.  It is the first Connecticut town off Interstate 95 and the Merritt Parkway if you are heading from New York City.  The town is bordered by Westchester County, New York and Stamford.  Greenwich is also bordered by the Long Island Sound.  When you take a look at Greenwich, you will notice how wonderful of a town it is.  It may seem hard to pick from the dozen great neighborhoods but once you see each area, you and your family can figure out what best suites you and your price range.

The climate in Greenwich is similar to that of any New England town.  The summer is beautiful and bright with temperatures averaging in the 80’s.  The fall brings the foliage colors out and the average temperature is around 60 degrees.  The winter has many storms and the temperature ranges anywhere from freezing to the high 40’s.  Once spring comes, you can expect wet weather and the temperature being in the lower 60’s.  Again, this weather is typical to any Connecticut or New England town for that matter.  Another important factor when moving to a town is the school system.  Whether you have children now or are planning on having children, knowing that a town has a great school system is important.  Not only does Greenwich provide a great public school system, there are also many private schools to choose from.  With a dozen or so private schools to visit, you and your family will have your hands full.  Choosing the right school is completely up to you and your family.  Either way, you know that your children will be getting a great education.
