Waterford, CT Homes for Sale

Living in Waterford

Waterford wraps around New London on the west and north, with Long Island Sound to the south and the Thames River to the east. It's a town of villages and neighborhoods, including Quaker Hill, Oswegatchie, Jordan Village, Graniteville, Great Neck and Mago Point, so you'll find everything from shoreline cottages to newer subdivisions.

Harkness Memorial State Park is the town's showpiece, with its mansion, gardens and lawns running down to the water. Waterford Beach Park, the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center and part of the Connecticut College Arboretum are here too. I-95 and I-395 both run through town, and Route 32 heads north toward Norwich.

Buying in Waterford

  • Shoreline access without shoreline-only prices. Inland Waterford neighborhoods put you minutes from the beach for less than the water itself.
  • Easy commute. With I-95 and I-395 both in town, you're close to New London, Groton, Norwich and the Route 2 corridor.
  • Check flood zones near the water. Flood zone status and insurance cost can change your monthly payment a lot. Look before you offer.
  • Set up instant alerts. Save a search on this page and you'll hear about new Waterford listings as they hit.
