The historians tell the tale of the past and today Madison remains a mix of old and new. In the quaint downtown area you can stoll along the steet enjoying the feel of the past. Stop for lunch at Cafe Allegre , pick out a book at the R.J. Julia Bookstore or watch a film at the Madison Art Cinema.

 You can also just wander around soaking in the athmosphere, on the eastern end of the downtown section sits the home of Deacon John Grave from the 1600's                                                  

Traveling west beyond Madison Center you can view the modern artwork along Sculpture Mile and also the William Raveis Madison office.

Madison is also home to the largest public beach in Connecticut.  Hammonasset  State Park covers over 900 acres offering 2 miles of sandy beach and a 3/4 mile boardwalk. Nature lovers can enjoy the outdoors in Madison by spending the night at one of Hammonasset's over 500 Campsites.

We all need to eat.  In the real estate business our schedule can be hectic and we never know where we'll be when hunger hits. Well, that is not exactly true, a real pro just makes everything look easy. When I develop a showing schedule for out-of-town buyers food is usually lurking somewhere in the back of my mind in case I need to alter the agenda to accommodate a hungry client.  Here are a few places to eat in Madison.

Breakfast can be found traveling east into the rising sun to Cohen's Bagel Company at 1347 Boston Post Road just beyond Hammonasset State Park.  If you are venturing west on Route One try Nick's Place near the Guilford line at 200 Boston Post Road.        

When lunchtime comes if you are in the mood for a sandwich or salad you can swing into Balladino's on the Post Road head for the eastern end of Downtown Madison and go one block north to Bradley & Wall.

For casual dining try Noodles some night at the intersection of Route 79 & 80.

The median sales price of single-family homes in Madison continued to shift lower throughout 2006 and the number of homes sold also dropped substantially. Around 290 homes sold annually between '01-'04 before slipping 9% in 2005 and sliding down 14% last year. We are noticing an adjustment in what the consumer is buying, lower and mid-priced homes are selling while potential buyers of the massive McMansions play a waiting game to see if price drops forecast by the media materialize.
