About Clinton
Set right along the Connecticut shoreline, Clinton’s village center offers a classic, easygoing coastal lifestyle. The neighborhood sits between the Hammonasset River and Clinton Harbor on Long Island Sound, with neighboring Madison just across the water to the west. Historic homes, local cafes, and small businesses line Route 1, while Interstate 95 sits right along the northern border to make trips into New Haven or Hartford straightforward.
Boating and beach days are central to living here. Residents have quick access to local marinas, boat launches, and Clinton Town Beach, with Hammonasset Beach State Park just minutes down the road. Families are served by the Clinton Public School district, and the walkable downtown area keeps town offices, everyday services, and casual waterfront dining all within a short stroll from the docks.
