Only five minutes from West Rock State Park, surrounded by large, mature trees, and with a small stream running through your front yard, it's hard to believe you're so close to major shopping and dining. - Stream thru Front Yard - Paved Road - All Utilities - Near Major Parks, Recreation, & Shopping - Very Buildable, No Floodplain - Priced about 27% Below Market This 1.22 acre lot is moderately wooded and features about 272 feet of paved road frontage. There are no structures on site, but all utilities - power, water, and sewer - do run along both frontage roads so the whole package is ready for your development. The lot has only a gentle slope so, with no floodplain or wetlands encroachments, it's very buildable. You'll surely enjoy the pleasant sights and sounds of the small brook that meanders east-west through the front yard - a perfect accent to this peaceful, idylic neighborhood, which is only modestly populated and dotted with high-end homes. When you're ready for natural adventure, several dramatic state parks await within minutes of your front door and the closest is West Rock State Park only 5 minutes down the street. Several others, all within a half hour, include East Rock, Sleeping Giant, Quinipiac, and Lighthouse Point parks. The port city of New Haven, proud home to Yale University, is only an 18-minute drive and offers even more metropolitan and maritime delights.
