The Towns in Which We Build

Timberdale’s primary market area is upper Fairfield and Lower Litchfield Counties. For your convenience we have provided a thumbnail description and web links on the towns in which we primarily build. The towns have a few things in common. Most are small and rural in nature, but sophisticated providing high quality life styles and excellent local services and amenities. We believe that combination of traits best fits our design and building style and that our style is understood and appreciated by the town’s residents.  We also  invite inquiries for projects located in other communities.
