A former mill town with a small, nostalgic downtown
Glenville began as a mill town built along the Byram River, but now it’s a luxurious suburb in western Greenwich, situated just over the New York border. “Greenwich has five different zip codes, so there are a lot of different ways to live in here,” says Megan Epand, a real estate agent with Houlihan Lawrence who was born and raised in Greenwich. “Glenville is subdivided into larger lots out in the country, with more of a suburban feel.” The Historic Glenville District is a small downtown area with a couple of walkable streets lined with red brick buildings, where residents can grab a bite at local restaurants. Children attend highly regarded schools, and commuters only have to drive a couple of miles to downtown Greenwich, where they can catch a commuter rail to New York City or go to a coastal park to enjoy views of the Long Island Sound.

Modest ranches and striking estates on spacious, forested lots
Aside from a 19th-century Romanesque Revival building converted into a luxury apartment complex called The Mill in downtown Glenville, residents live in single-family homes nestled among canopies of trees. Classic Connecticut homes with spacious yards line the peaceful, shaded streets. Ranches, bi-levels and smaller Cape Cods built in the early 1970s and 80s cost between $900,000 and $1.7 million. Mid-century modern properties and Colonial Revivals are priced between $1.8 and $2.2 million. Striking estates with grand entrances and precisely landscaped lawns feature homes in Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival designs. These properties cost anywhere between $5 million and $9.6 million. Despite Connecticut’s high real estate prices, many homebuyers settle over the New York border, as “taxes are significantly lower here than in New York. A house that might have $30,000 in taxes per year in New York might be around $12,000 here,” Epand explains.

Nature preserves and community recreation in Glenville
A new place to explore Glenville’s meadows and forests opened in 2022 when the Greenwich Land Trust finished developing the Converse Brook Preserve. Marked nature trails for walking or snowshoeing loop through the woods and curve past the Converse Pond Brook. Horseback riders can explore on the horse trails, but dogs aren’t allowed in the preserve. If they want to immerse themselves in fields of wildflowers to go birdwatching, residents can travel 5 miles north to Greenwich Audubon Center, a nearly 700-acre nature sanctuary. The Western Greenwich Park and Civic Center is a hub for both youth and adult recreation, featuring an outdoor playground, baseball and soccer fields, an open indoor gym and pickleball courts. Golfers can choose between two exclusive golf clubs: Round Hill Club is a mile northeast, and Blind Brook Club is a mile west in New York.

Soup and wedges from Gville Deli
Red brick buildings along the Byram River in the Glenville Historic District recall Glenville’s days as a mill village, though now the 19th-century buildings host reliable local restaurants, marked with painted green and gold signs. Mornings can begin with New York-style bagels from Popup Bagels, and lunchtime often calls for coffee and sandwiches, which locals often call wedges, from The Country Table. Gville Deli is another favorite spot for specialty wedges, soup and salad, and Glenville Pizza is a casual pizzeria popular for its Sicilian slices and beer on tap. There aren’t any grocery stores in the neighborhood, but locals only drive about 3 miles to shop near downtown Greenwich. Citarella Gourmet Market is a specialty grocery store where residents can find fresh seafood, baked goods and pasta, but Stop and Shop and Whole Foods stock a wide variety of ingredients and household essentials. Greenwich Avenue is also a popular destination for upscale retail shopping, where residents can stop in Aritzia, Lululemon and Saks Fifth Avenue.
The That's Amore and Buffalo Soldier wedges at the Glenville Deli are worth every bite.

Live music and food trucks at ValleyJam
Glenville and the neighboring community of Pemberwick share a neighborhood association that organizes seasonal events and local projects. Every September, the community heads to Western Greenwich Civic Center Park for ValleyJam, a festival with live music, food trucks, raffles and other family-friendly activities. Kids can take pictures with Santa, enjoy seasonal treats and drop off a letter addressed to the North Pole during the Santa in the Park event at Pemberwick Park. “Everyone will come out for the big Greenwich events, too, like the Greenwich Town Party. We’ve had some big bands come — Billy Joel and the Eagles played in the past,” Epand says. The 2024 festival features Mumford & Sons.
The Merritt Parkway is conveniently located a few minutes north of Glenville.
Merritt Parkway routes to New York City
The Merritt Parkway bisects Glenville and turns into the Hutchinson River Parkway at the New York border, which commuters can use to drive 35 miles southwest to New York City. However, Deborah Laemmerhirt, a Realtor with Keller Williams Luxury International, advises, “You have to plan your commute. Driving to the city can take one to two hours, but the train takes an hour.” The Greenwich commuter station, where residents catch the New Haven line on the Metro-North Railroad, is 3 miles from Glenville. Interstate 95 runs parallel to the rail line, offering a route to travel northeast toward New Haven, Providence and Boston.
