Coves and Necks on the Sound

More than a quarter of Waterford’s area is water, with the Niantic River on its western edge, Long Island Sound to the south, and cove and neck neighborhoods such as Jordan Cove, Great Neck, and Mago Point. Many homes on the water are lived in year-round, and some are second homes that sit quiet for months.

Salt air, wind, and high water test the outside of a house on the shore, and a home empty through the winter needs a regular look. Our team handles the seasonal opening and closing, visits on a schedule, and after a storm sends photos of the roof, siding, and drainage, so you know what the weather left behind.
