North Branford is one of the larger towns in New Haven county, but only has a population of about 14,000 residents. What does that mean for a potential homebuyer? Well, the both the convenience of being close to New Haven and I-95 and the opportunity to purchase a home with more land than a house in a city could provide.
North Branford has three communities within it: Northford, North Branford center, and Totoket, which takes up a significant portion of the town's acreage because of Totoket Mountain. The section of Northford contains over 6,000 people and stands as one of the nicest sections of New Haven county.
In North Branford, you'll find Route 80, which is home to many large businesses. You'll never be far away from a Loew's, Wal-Mart, or nationwide chain restaurants. This section of development is the perfect compliment to the quieter sections of the town where many families have made their residences.
North Branford also is more affordable for those looking to live in New Haven county, but don't want to pay the high prices of living close to the shore. And the shoreline is only about a 15 minute drive into East Haven on Route 80 or down into Branford.
