Roughly 39 percent of all the single family homes currently available for sale in Westport are specifically noted as being on a cul-de-sac.

However, being on a cul-de-sac does not necessarily indicate that a home is on a private road.

According to the town’s website, there are 332 public roads and 460 private roads which make up 34.9 percent of the combined road length in miles.

According to our Multiple Listing Service, what is in fact apparent over the last year is that both the median listing price as well as the average sale price of homes on cul-de-sacs is approximately $300,000 higher than those that are not located on such streets.
