Stonington Communities

A charming coastal town that offers a diverse array of neighborhoods, Stonington historic areas have unique character and appeal. From the historic Stonington Borough to the bustling village of Mystic, this picturesque New England town has something for everyone[1].

Stonington Borough Historic District

At the heart of Stonington lies the historic Stonington Borough, a quaint and walkable community filled with local shops, restaurants, and stunning water views. This neighborhood is home to the iconic Stonington Harbor Light and boasts a rich maritime history. Just north of the Borough, you’ll find the Stonington Green area, which offers a more suburban feel while still maintaining easy access to the town’s amenities.

Mystic Neighborhoods

Mystic, perhaps the most well-known part of Stonington, is divided between Stonington and neighboring Groton. The Stonington side of Mystic features charming neighborhoods like Greenmanville and Mason’s Island, as well as popular attractions such as Mystic Seaport and the Mystic Aquarium[1]. Old Mystic, located slightly inland, offers a quieter, more rural atmosphere while still being close to the action.

Pawcatuck Villages

On the eastern side of town, Pawcatuck borders Rhode Island and provides a mix of residential and commercial areas. Pawcatuck neighborhoods include Anguilla, Brookside, Stonington Green and Lower Pawcatuck, each offering its own blend of housing options and community feel. The area is also home to some of Stonington’s industrial leaders, contributing to the town’s economic diversity[2].

Stonington Districts

For those seeking a more secluded coastal experience, Wamphassuc Point and Quiambaug Cove offer breathtaking water views and a sense of privacy. Other notable areas include Taugwonk, known for its rolling hills and farmland, Deans Mill, and the historic Wequetequock area, which played a significant role in Stonington’s early settlement[3]. Together, these diverse neighborhoods create the rich tapestry that is Stonington, Connecticut – a town that seamlessly blends history, natural beauty, and modern amenities.

Stonington Attractions

Nestled in the charming coastal town of Stonington, Connecticut, the Mystic area offers a trio of world-class attractions that draw visitors from far and wide. The Mystic Seaport Museum, America’s leading maritime museum, invites you to step back in time and explore a meticulously recreated 19th-century seafaring village, complete with historic ships, skilled artisans, and hands-on exhibits[4][5]. Just a short distance away, the Mystic Aquarium captivates with its diverse marine life, including beluga whales, penguins, and sea lions, offering an immersive underwater experience. Completing this trifecta of attractions is Olde Mistick Village, a quaint open-air shopping complex designed to resemble a New England village from the 1720s, featuring unique boutiques, eateries, and seasonal events. Together, these attractions provide a perfect blend of history, nature, and charm, making the Mystic area a must-visit destination for families, history buffs, and anyone seeking a quintessential New England experience.
