The only thing that will surpass our view is our lifestyle
Our location offers the best of both worlds. You’re within easy reach of all the things you love about living along the Connecticut shoreline including the restaurants and entertainment options of Stonington and Mystic. But then you can return home to our peaceful 70 acres overlooking the Thames River. In fact, Vista Point at Fairview will feature the only waterfront views of any Southeastern Connecticut Life Plan Community.
Vista Point at Fairview is surrounded by a blend of historical, natural, and cultural attractions all within minutes of the community.
Nearby highlights:
Bluff Point State Park: The perfect spot for hiking, biking, or fishing. With coastal views, quiet trails, and a hidden beach, it's a peaceful retreat for outdoor enthusiasts without the crowds.
Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park: This park offers not only a glimpse into the past but also panoramic views of the Thames River. It’s a great spot for casual walks or a history refresh.
Eastern Point Beach: A small, local beach with picnic areas, and views of the New London Harbor Lighthouse. It’s quieter than the more popular beaches, making it ideal for a low-key day by the water.
Haley Farm State Park: A great spot for walking, or biking through rolling fields and scenic trails. It connects to Bluff Point, offering an extended nature route that’s a favorite among locals.
Poquonnock River Walkway: This lesser-known riverfront trail offers stunning views of the river, marshes, and wildlife. It’s perfect for a peaceful walk or watching the sunset.
Submarine Force Museum and USS Nautilus: This museum is a great reminder of the area's rich naval history and illuminates the role of Groton as the “Submarine Capital of the World.”
Downtown Mystic (off the beaten path): While tourists flock to the main spots, locals know the quieter side streets and hidden gems—like cozy coffee shops, local art galleries, and peaceful river views away from the crowds. Of course, if family comes to town, you can also take them over to Mystic Seaport for a fun day of shopping, dining and coastal charm.
Avery Point: Home to UConn's Groton campus and the Avery Point Lighthouse, this area is a local favorite for evening walks and watching boats sail by.
Local Breweries & Vineyards: Places like Outer Light Brewing Company in Groton and Stonington Vineyards are just a short drive away and offer laid-back atmospheres to enjoy craft beers and local wines with friends.
Fort Trumbull State Park: This historic fort provides another great local spot for picnics, fishing, or learning more about New London’s military history.
And convenient access to shopping, dining, pharmacies, hospital systems like Lawrence + Memorial Health System (part of Yale New Haven Health System), Chelsea Groton Bank, and more!
