If you want to get extremely technical it is actually also a town. All cities in CT are also towns, and in all cases but two (Groton and Winchester) the cities and towns are coextensive with the town (in both aforementioned examples the city only occupies part of the town's area)

You have to understand something PF, to me it's about neighborhoods, style, and elegance. I'm real big on architecture, I'm all about it. I love the stately old world styles you see down at Southport harbor. They are absolute pleasures to the eye. Not to mention other neighborhoods in and around Stub, CT and out towards RI. Yale in New Haven? speechless. I can't get enough of the new modern farmhouse type construction either thats popular these days.
Those gables, dormers and roof pitches down on Rowland and Penfield with their Tuscany kitchens just aren't my thing man.

You too Stylo, somebody put a up a bunch of raised ranches in Milford and Jesus people bought em'.

All the very best
I too have a love for architecture and love the beauty of Southport, as well as the shoreline towns of our state. That said, not every part of a town can be like Southport. It would cost a fortune to replicate its architecture and would not serve the needs of everyone.

I’m not sure I understand your comment on Milford but would point to Milford’s stunning town green area as one of our states more charming areas.

As for those raised ranches, I’m pretty sure they exist in just about every town in our state. They were considered to be very stylish back in the 60’s and 70’s and were popular because they gave people on a budget the most square footage bag for their buck since the basement could be finished inexpensively for extra bedrooms, baths, laundry, family room, or garage space. They fell out of favor in the 80’s but may someday come back in favor. Surprisingly every now and then I see a new one advertised for sale. Jay

Was just driving through the "South of the Green" area - Pond St. is particularly pretty. Also Trumbull Ave. North St by the duck ponds is beautiful too. Governor Ave. is another favorite. There are not a ton of areas like that. There's lots of very charming neighborhoods in Milford that are off the beaten path.

No, of course it's not going to be replicated in more modest areas or towns. I was strictly talking about the beach area where folks are spendy.

Southport's architecture could of been replicated in the beach area tastefully, even with narrow and smaller lots. Instead the developers and architects in the 2000's went bonkers with protractors.

Forget the raised ranches, I had LOL face emoji. Just having some fun with song lyrics someone else had posted recently.

You know how it goes
All the Best

That is a charming area, so different from what most people see. I hope you obeyed the speed limit..

Agree, those early to mid-century homes are wonderful when well kept.
