Interview with the Homeowners

Q :
Q: Why are you movng?

A: My children are nearly finished with college and want to spread their wings once they enter the

working world. So, it’s time to downsize, move south and be closer to family. It’s time to let an-
other family enjoy the wonders of this paradise.

Q: What made you fall in love with this place?

A: Just step inside and look out at the water, nature, birds. It’s mesmerizing and unique. There
are views of Bermuda Lagoon, the marshland, Long Island Sound, Shorehaven Golf Course,
Long Island on a clear day, Cockenoe Island. It’s one of the most unique views in Southeastern
Connecticut. Because the tide changes every 6 hours, the water is always moving and the view
is constantly in motion.

Q: Do you like the neighborhood?

A: It’s perfect for raising a family or for weekenders coming to escape the city. Because there is a
neighborhood association that shares a small, private beach and boat dock, it is easy to meet
everyone or keep to yourself in your own secluded sanctuary. There are a number of homes in
the neighborhood and the association gets together once a quarter to catch up with each oth-
er’s news. They recently brought in an expert from Audubon to talk about ospreys down at the
beach. We have an osprey couple that comes back every year to nest. Over the last two years,
they have had three baby fledglings. They are magnificent to watch fly and we can fish right
in our back yard! We have many people who are dog lovers who walk their dogs regularly as
well as people who enjoy walking and biking. The little shared beach is a perfect place to bring
young children to play. You can barbecue or simply go there to watch the sun set

Q: Does the beach get busy?

A: No. it seems like everyone in the neighborhood is fairly busy. While there are quite a few
kayakers, you rarely see more than a couple at a time in the water. And, you only see a hand-
ful of people at the beach at a time

Q: Explain the lifestyle.

A: This is a community of fairly busy people who live here because the beauty of nature forc-
es them to unwind and take it all in. People are friendly yet respectful of others’ privacy.
Some neighbors have formed deep friendships. Others are simply friendly and kind but keep
to themselves. In a nutshell, one can carve out a lifestyle that suits their needs. You can
choose to be involved in the neighborhood or enjoy the serenity and calm of nature.
