With around 2,100 residents, it offers a peaceful New England feel defined by wooded hills, historic homes, and waterfront charm. Once a bustling shipbuilding hub known as Higganum Landing, the area today retains its historic character, anchored by a quiet village green, local landmarks, and easy access to outdoor recreation along the river.
