Coastal sophistication
It’s often been said that buying a home means buying a neighborhood. The Woodmont neighborhood takes it one step further, though. Buying a home in Woodmont means buying a way of life. “Woodmont is a lifestyle,” says Realtor and Connecticut native Robin Jossen. “There’s very much a beach vibe in the neighborhood. It’s very laid-back and casual. I know a lot of people who are downsizing from their homes in Westport to move to that area because they want that slower pace of life and more casual lifestyle.” That lifestyle – which Jossen describes as “coastal sophistication with a casual twist” – comes about as a result of the neighborhood’s location on Long Island Sound. That proximity to the water is, according to Jossen, the primary draw that brings people to Woodmont. “It’s people who love the beach,” she says. “It’s people who want that coastal lifestyle.”
Life's a beach
The coastal lifestyle of Woodmont focuses on the miles of pristine beaches that serve as the neighborhood’s eastern border. Whether it’s on Woodmont Beach, Spencer Street Beach, Morningside Beach or any of the other spots along the sound, residents here never have to look far to find a stretch of sand where they can relax and unwind. Adjacent to Woodmont Beach, residents will find a community park with a playground, a basketball court and a large open field for working off extra energy. The park is also the site of Woodmont Day, an annual celebration to welcome the summer season. The event kicks off with 5K run around the borough, and the fun continues with a parade and a full schedule of games, food and music. Woodmont residents mark the date every year on their calendars, as they look forward to getting together with friends and neighbors to sit in lawn chairs, eat burgers and fries and enjoy live music, as well as each other's company. Pickleball players can get in the kitchen on the courts at Howard Park, which also offers access to a playground. Tennis players need not feel left out, as the neighborhood has four courts available for public use at the Anderson Avenue Tennis Courts. Golfers will have to travel a little further, but only about 5 miles to Orchards Golf Course, a nine-hole course complete with a pro shop.
Woodmont Beach is one of Woodmont's most popular beaches.

Quintessential New England homes
Homes in Woodmont tend to reflect the sense of coastal sophistication that Jossen references. The neighborhood offers a quintessential New England vista, with a variety of architectural styles that include Cape Cods, cottages and farmhouse-style homes, along with more contemporary builds. One element that is uniform throughout the neighborhood is the care residents show in landscaping. Short, well-maintained grass is the norm, and many residents decorate their front yards with colorful shrubbery and crisp hedgerows. The median home price here is around $505,000, and buyers should expect to pay an average of $349 per square foot. Buyers can choose from condominiums that range in price from $150,000 for a one-bedroom/one-bathroom unit to $600,000 for a two-bedroom/two-bathroom penthouse unit with ocean views. Single-family home prices start at $250,000 for a two-bedroom/one-bathroom ranch-style and go up to $2 million for a four-bedroom/four-bathroom new construction home that looks out on Long Island Sound. “It’s a very family-friendly neighborhood that is a very tight-knit community,” says Jossen. “At the same time, empty-nesters love it, too, because it’s a peaceful area that’s close to the beach. And it’s more affordable than a lot of other towns along the coast.”
Those interested in buying in Woodmont need to be aware that it is a borough of Milford, meaning the neighborhood provides municipal services for residents beyond what the city offers. As a result, there is an additional yearly tax assessment that residents must pay in addition to those paid to the city.
You will also find beautiful homes lining the streets of Woodmont beyond the waterfront.
