About the Neighborhood

Sandy beaches, wooded areas, beautiful land
Nature's embrace, tranquil living, coastline neighborhood

Greens Farms holds the distinction of being the oldest neighborhood within the town of Westport, Connecticut, located in Fairfield County.

This neighborhood area is generally defined by the Post Road to the north, Hillspoint Road to the west, the Long Island Sound marking its southern edge, and Sasco Creek forming its eastern boundary.

Nature is a defining characteristic of Greens Farms, offering residents a beautiful environment surrounded by open spaces. The neighborhood boasts the 235-acre Sherwood Island State Park, featuring sandy beaches and a forested area.

Numerous nature preserves, thick wooded areas, and meandering brooks and creeks further contribute to the area's natural charm.

As Westport, Connecticut's oldest neighborhood, Greens Farms began in 1648 when five farmers, known as the Bankside Farmers, received permission from Fairfield to settle land inhabited by the Pequot people. They purchased this area from the Pequot, who called it Machamux, meaning “beautiful land.” The name Greens Farms was adopted in 1732, honoring John Green, one of those initial Bankside settlers.

Options range from antique Victorian styles built in the 1800s to contemporary, newly constructed residences. While Colonial architecture is the most common style found here, the neighborhood also includes homes in Nantucket, cozy ranch, and historic saltbox designs, offering a variety of aesthetic choices.

Among the most desirable locations is Beachside Avenue, renowned for its impressive properties. Here, one can find spacious Colonial homes starting around 3,000 square feet on 1.5-acre lots, extending to magnificent beachfront estates.

Whether one is drawn to a beachfront property on Beachside Avenue, a luxury condo, or a beautiful home nestled amongst the woods north of I-95, Greens Farms offers a perfect place tailored to different lifestyles and preferences.

Greens Farms is served by its own association. Established in 1971, Green's Farms Association welcomes all residents to join in preserving and enhancing the neighborhood's quality of life. The group works towards these goals by engaging in zoning issues, providing educational resources on home ownership and neighborhood topics, and participating in community service such as Westport Beautification and local cleanups.
