Northwest New London
Anchored by tree-lined streets and a mix of classic capes and thoughtfully updated mid-century homes, Northwest New London offers a calm, residential pocket with quick access to the best of New London County. Residents prize the neighborhood’s easy connections to education and open space: the hilltop campus of Connecticut College sits nearby, and its beloved Connecticut College Arboretum opens miles of trails, native gardens, and quiet water views to weekend wanderers and weekday joggers alike. Just downriver, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy adds a distinctive maritime presence and seasonal events that knit the community together.
Families benefit from the city’s all-magnet system through New London Public Schools, including the modernized secondary campus and a range of themed programs from STEM to the arts. For outdoor play, ballfields, and shaded walking paths, Bates Woods Park is a neighborhood standby. Everyday essentials are close, and major routes put downtown New London, waterfront dining, and cultural venues within minutes.
Commuters appreciate swift access to I-95 and Route 32, while healthcare needs are well served by Lawrence + Memorial Hospital a short drive away. Weekend errands and coastal escapes come easy with neighboring Waterford and Groton close at hand—think beaches, state parks, and convenient shopping without losing the quiet rhythm at home.
