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.
