Sherman Real Estate
The best value per acre of frontage, and the least commercially developed town on the lake.
Living in Sherman
Sherman is the least commercially developed of the five Candlewood towns, with the lowest property taxes and the most undeveloped natural shoreline on the lake, plus direct access to Squantz Pond State Park. It's about 90 minutes from New York City, and it draws a buyer who is fiercely loyal to it once they find it.
How Chelsea Serves Sherman
Every Sherman listing gets the same Waterfront Value Audit before it goes to market: frontage, transferable dock permits, water depth, cove protection, septic, and seawall condition. With less commercial development here, Chelsea also helps buyers understand what's genuinely nearby versus what to expect to drive to. See selling in Sherman and buying on the lake.
Sherman's Lake Communities
Sun Shores, Lake Estates, Atchinson Shores, and Deer Run Shores make up Sherman's shoreline communities. Access includes Sherman Town Park Launch and Squantz Landing State Boat Launch, with Squantz Pond State Park adjacent.
For the shoreline itself, including the coves, launch points, and dock-rights checks, see Sherman Candlewood Lake homes.
Sherman's Housing Market
Candlewood-facing listings in Sherman have run roughly $650,000 to $2 million and up, the best value per acre of frontage among the five towns. Lower property taxes than the other four towns are part of what draws buyers here.
Schools and Getting Around
Sherman School serves grades PreK-8; Sherman students attend New Milford High School. The town sits about 90 minutes from New York City. Sherman offers the lowest property taxes of the five towns and, in Chelsea's experience, the most natural shoreline.
