Charming and accessible
With just over 1,000 homes, Deep River is a small New England town on the Connecticut River where the possibility of running into a familiar face is very likely and welcome. “It’s a nice little town where you can encounter neighbors just by sitting on a park bench,” says Greg Hanner, Realtor and broker/owner of Garden Realty, who’s been involved in Connecticut real estate for 35 years, some as a custom builder. “It’s also less expensive than neighboring towns, with more housing options for homebuyers on a budget and more socioeconomic diversity.” With condos available and starter homes under $300,000, Deep River offers a range of choices for people attracted to small-town coastal living.
Deep River has a charming, small town feel.
Community-centered businesses
Most restaurants in Deep River Center, the area's downtown district, are small local shops that have become a community staple. The Whistle Stop Café on Main Street has continuously served breakfast and lunch since it opened in 1938. The Nest Coffee House down the street is a nonprofit that employs adults with developmental challenges. A few minutes north, High Nine Brewing is a popular brewery with a patio, perfect for meeting friends on warm nights. Deep River’s hardware store is a small family-owned business and a good place to pick up gardening tools. For anyone hungry and short on funds, Bennett Books, a small indie bookshop across the street, offers their “Freedge,” a community refrigerator stocked with food for anyone who needs it.
