Old Greenwich

Old Greenwich is a charming coastal neighborhood within the town of Greenwich. Known for its walkable village center, historic homes, and beach-town atmosphere. Locals enjoy easy access to Tod’s Point (Greenwich Point Park) - a scenic peninsula along Long Island Sound, and a treasured waterfront park with beaches, trails, and panoramic views - With its tight-knit community, natural beauty, and rich New England history, Old Greenwich feels like a year-round retreat just an hour from New York City.

Where New England Charm Meets Timeless Roots
Founded in 1640 with a trade of 25 coats from the Siwanoy tribe to four English settlers, Old Greenwich is a coastal town steeped in history and character. What began as a humble farming village blossomed into a lively summer resort—and today, it thrives as a picturesque commuter community that’s equal parts peaceful and vibrant.

Where Coastal Beauty Meets Timeless Legacy
Known today for its sweeping shoreline and natural splendor, Greenwich Point Park—or Tod’s Point—was once the private estate of J. Kennedy Tod, a 19th-century financier and philanthropist. While the land has transformed into one of Greenwich’s most beloved public spaces, many of the original estate buildings still stand, quietly echoing the past and adding an old-world charm to the park’s seaside trails and sun-drenched coves.

A local favorite, Greenwich Point Park  - affectionately known as Tod’s Point - spans 147.3 acres of natural beauty and coastal charm.  From May through October 31st, a beach park pass is required for entry, with day passes and parking options available to non-residents.  Open to to all from November through March, inviting visitors to stroll the shoreline and soak in the quiet beauty of off-season bliss

Just down the road, Binney Park is vibing with 32 lush acres of winding paths, cozy benches, and pond side charm. It’s where model sailboats race, kids chase butterflies, and the Fourth of July Fireworks light up more than just the night sky—they light up your whole soul.


Stroll through the charming downtown, where mom-and-pop shops, cozy restaurants, a neighborhood supermarket, and a bustling summer farmers market create a true hometown feel. Add in the local Perrot Memorial library, post office, railroad station, and even a classic firehouse, and you’ve got the heartbeat of a community that never lost its soul.  Get ready to experience the All-New Eastern Greenwich Civic Center like never before—now fully renovated into a vibrant, modern hub for all things community. As the proud home of the Old Greenwich-Riverside Community Center (OGRCC), this gleaming new space is where fun, connection, and creativity collide.
