416 Taconic, on the Banksville/Stamford/Greenwich border, was listed for $5.5 million last December, and closed last Friday for $4.560. (I’ve provided no link because all relevant information and pictures have been pulled down from the internet, but I’ve supplied the original MLS card below.)

AI Summary:
Generally, non-residents of Greenwich, Connecticut, are not permitted to enroll in Greenwich Public Schools. However, there are a few exceptions, such as for those employed by the Town of Greenwich. The district also offers fee-based programs like preschool and summer school, which non-residents can potentially access. Additionally, Connecticut has a school choice program called "Open Choice," which might allow students from other towns to attend Greenwich schools if space is available, but this is not a guarantee.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
General Policy:
The Greenwich Public School district primarily serves residents of Greenwich.
Limited Exceptions:
The main exception is for employees of the Town of Greenwich, who may be eligible for enrollment.
Fee-Based Programs:
Greenwich Public Schools offers fee-based programs like preschool and summer school, which are available to non-residents for a fee.
Connecticut's Open Choice program allows students from participating urban districts to attend schools in suburban towns, and vice versa, but this is subject to available space and specific district participation.
No General Open Enrollment:
Greenwich does not participate in a general open enrollment policy for non-residents outside of the exceptions noted above.
