Stratford, CTInc. 1639
Stratford is a suburban town at the mouth of the Housatonic River on Long Island Sound, with a housing stock that mixes the dense, older neighborhoods near the waterfront and downtown with post-war suburban development inland. The former Sikorsky Aircraft manufacturing campus is one of the most significant industrial properties in the region. The Shakespeare Theatre and the town's historic character distinguish it from neighboring communities.
For property professionals, Stratford offers a diverse market with coastal exposure along the Sound and the Housatonic River, industrial and commercial property, and a residential stock that spans from waterfront to suburban. The flood zone considerations along the waterfront are significant.
