NYT Real Estate profiles Southport, Conn., an area of historic properties along the Fairfield County waterfront. The town center is known for its plantation-style homes and quiet streets, making it a great waystop for the thousands of cyclists and motorcyclists who ply the beautiful waterfront roads between New Haven and Greenwich, Connecticut each weekend:
"On weekends, Pequot Avenue teems with runners and bikers — and with police officers cracking down on speeders to keep the road safe."
"It may not be an accident that many houses resemble Southern plantations. In the 19th century, Southport traded with Savannah, Ga., and Charleston, S.C., where many families had relatives, according to V. Louise Higgins, a local historian."
