Riverside

Coastal charm meets commuter convenience in Riverside, one of Greenwich’s most sought-after areas.

Welcome to Riverside

Riverside blends the charm of coastal New England with the convenience of suburban living. Situated along the Long Island Sound, it’s one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Greenwich, known for its strong sense of community, proximity to the water, and easy access to the city. Many of the homes here are just a short distance from the train, making it a top choice for commuters.
 
Founded in the 19th century, Riverside’s early identity was rooted in farming, particularly potatoes, which were stored and shipped from cellars near the cove. In fact, Riverside Avenue was once called “Potatoe Road.” That agrarian past slowly gave way to year-round residential life with the arrival of the train and, later, I-95.
 
Today, Riverside is home to the historic Riverside Yacht Club, established in 1888, which remains a focal point of the local boating scene. The neighborhood is built around community staples like Riverside Elementary School, which has served families since 1933, and vibrant churches, including St. Paul’s Episcopal and St. Catherine’s Catholic. While Riverside offers a tranquil, residential vibe, it’s also just minutes from nearby shops, restaurants, and larger town amenities.
 
Whether you’re looking for waterfront homes, charming colonials near the train, or quiet tree-lined streets, Riverside offers a lifestyle that balances relaxation, recreation, and connection.
