Homes for $600,000 to $1 Million

YOUR WEEKEND BEGINS

Thursday or Friday afternoon

Leave Manhattan behind aboard the 2:04 p.m. Metro-North train from Grand Central Terminal.

4:15 p.m. Arrive at New Haven's Union Station. Walk across the platform and board the 4:28 p.m. Shore Line East train.

4:39 p.m. Pull into Branford. Your car, parked free at the station all week, is waiting.

On the way to your weekend retreat, stop for groceries at Stop & Shop or browse Branford and Guilford's specialty markets for fresh seafood, artisan bread, local cheeses, and a favorite bottle of wine.

By 5:30 or 6:00 p.m. you're unlocking the front door, pouring the first cocktail of the weekend, and wondering why you ever considered sitting in Friday traffic on I-95.

If you're reading this, chances are you've already imagined life with a weekend home. The only question is where. You've probably considered the Hamptons, the North Fork, or the Catskills. For many buyers, though, Connecticut turns out to be the sweet spot: charming shoreline towns, historic villages, scenic countryside, remarkable value, and an easy drive or train ride from New York.

For nearly twenty years, I've helped people discover that the best weekend home isn't necessarily the farthest away. It's the one that's close enough to become a habit.
