What a difference a school makes

Almost, but not quite

I saw that 37 Carrington Drive, off Stanwich, is under contract and at an asking price of $1.025 million, it seemed like a really good deal for a nice house. And it is a nice house, but this house, like some others on Carrington, has a Greenwich mailing address but Stamford schools, and that’s not the same thing as all-Greenwich.

Still, if these buyers don’t mind the Stamford school system or have children in private school, they’re getting a good house for not a whole lot of money.

It also offers a good illustration of relative values between the two towns.
