GREENWICH, CT — Greenwich, Old Greenwich, Cos Cob and Riverside recently received A+ ratings ranking them among the Best Places to Live in Connecticut, according to the online rankings website Niche.com.

The findings were released this week after Niche analyzed data about the quality of local schools, crime rates, housing trends, employment statistics and access to amenities such as night life, outdoor activities and health and fitness.

Greenwich and its hamlets of Cos Cob, Old Greenwich and Riverside received an A+ rating as the 2018 Best Places to Live, while Byram and Pemberwick received A ratings and Glenville an A- rating, according to Niche.com.

"These rankings recognize the Town’s long-standing commitment to life safety, quality education and developing and preserving attractive outdoor recreational opportunities for our residents. From the backcountry to the waterfront, virtually every neighborhood in Town is ranked as a 'Best Place to Live,'" said First Selectman Peter J. Tesei in a statement. "This illustrates that people do 'Think Greenwich' when it comes to finding the premier place to live, work and raise a family."

Tesei added, "Greenwich has become a beacon for various cultural and family events that are not only enjoyed by our residents but visitors as well, whether it is the Greenwich International Film Festival, the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance or the Greenwich Food and Wine Festival."

This recognition by Niche follows the Town receiving the designation of being the Safest City to Raise a Family by Safe Wise in 2017.
