New London, CT Homes for Sale

Living in New London

New London is a small coastal city where the Thames River meets Long Island Sound, right across the river from Groton. It packs a lot into about 5.5 square miles of land: a walkable downtown and waterfront, Ocean Beach Park, Fort Trumbull State Park, the US Coast Guard Academy, Connecticut College and Mitchell College. The Garde Arts Center and the Lyman Allyn Art Museum anchor the arts scene.

It's also the best-connected spot in the region. Union Station downtown has Amtrak and Shore Line East trains, and ferries to Long Island, Block Island and Fishers Island leave from the waterfront. Most of the housing is older: Victorian and early-1900s single-families, plenty of 2- and 3-families, and condos.

Buying in New London

  • More house for the money. New London has some of the lowest prices per square foot on this stretch of the shoreline.
  • Plan for an older home. Most of the city's homes are well over 75 years old. A good inspection matters, and so does budgeting for updates.
  • Ask about first-time buyer programs. Connecticut has down payment and rate programs worth checking before you shop.
  • Close to work: Electric Boat's engineering and design offices are in New London and Waterford, and the Groton shipyard is just across the Gold Star Bridge.

Selling in New London

A well-priced New London home often draws two kinds of buyers at once: people buying a place to live and investors. More buyers means more leverage for you. Condition matters with older housing, so we'll help you decide which repairs are worth doing before you list and which aren't.

Schools

New London Public Schools is becoming Connecticut's first all-magnet school district: two K-4 elementary schools, a multi-magnet middle school for grades 5-7, and a high school for grades 8-12, with STEM and visual and performing arts pathways. Check with the district for details on a specific address.

Thinking About a 2- to 4-Family?

New London is one of the best places in the region to start. About 15 multifamily properties are listed right now. Buying a 2- or 3-family and living in one unit lets the rent from the others help cover your mortgage, and it's one of the most common first steps into building equity. We can run the numbers with you on any listing.
