Gone fishin’ in Stonington
Stonington is a coastal village in New England that embraces its life by the sea. Situated by the southeastern border between Connecticut and Rhode Island, Stonington has the last commercial fishing fleet in the state with numerous seaside excursions in the Long Island Sound. With historical homes, A-rated schools and waterfront amenities, there are many reasons why 18,000 people call Stonington home. “It’s the charming architecture, it’s the people, it’s the world-class sailing and boating,” says Judi Caracausa, William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty associate broker. “There’s really something for everybody in Stonington.”
Splashing through the gentle surf of Long Island Sound, residents of Stonington have some of the best access to water in the state.

New England parks and beaches
Stonington has several miles of walking trails, preserves and sandy beaches where locals like to swim and sunbathe. DuBois Beach has a gazebo and an anchored dock and was named one of the "Boston Globe's" Top 20 New England beaches. Boating, fishing and scuba diving take place along the oceanfront, as well as various harbor cruises and private charters. Pickleball and tennis are prominent activities at the Stonington Community Center, which also has a pottery studio, thrift shop, makerspace and a children's garden and playground. The historic district has several museums and libraries, and the Hoffman Evergreen Preserve has over 200 acres of hardwood forestry and wetlands.

Cape Cod homes, cottages and condos
Not only does Stonington have a popular housing market, but it also welcomes a seasonal population during the peak of summer tourism. “People have second, third and fourth homes here,” Caracausa says. “People who can live anywhere in the world are moving here.” Lawns are lined with stone walls, landscaped bushes, grassy plains and wooden fences, with many cottages and condominiums costing $200,000 to $500,000. Many of the colonial and Cape Cod homes on the waterfront have private docks and are between $500,000 and $850,000. Larger homes with 3,000 to 5,000 square feet of space and 1- to 5-acre lots will be most expensive between $1 million and $3 million.

Downtown Stonington is filled with all kinds of retailers, ranging from jewelry and floral shops to home goods and accessory stores. “It’s very, very charming – wonderful antique shops, women’s clothing stores, gift shops, arts and crafts,” Carracausa says. "I frequently shop there, and it’s very popular for both locals and tourists alike.” Local eateries consist of independently-owned cafes, markets and fine dining seafood restaurants.
