A wonderful mix of residential neighborhoods, business districts, endless commercial shopping and industrial enterprises create the texture of Norwalk, the sixth largest city in Connecticut.
The largest yachting marina in New England is in Norwalk, so naturally Norwalk hosts an annual boat show and other waterfront activities. It also hosts the annual Oyster Festival, a “must-go–to” event the first weekend after Labor Day.
Cultural activities include the Maritime Aquarium, the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion, the Norwalk Symphony, the Stepping Stone Museum for Children and the Norwalk Museum, featuring collections of Americana and period art. Art galleries and restaurants are showcased in revitalized 19th century buildings along the streets of South Norwalk (SoNo).
While downtown condominiums and apartments are available, breathtaking homes overlook the Long Island Sound at Wilson Point and restored historical homes sit among traditional and contemporary ones along the many rivers in the East Norwalk, West Norwalk, Silvermine, Cranbury and Rowayton neighborhoods.
Accessibility to New York City is easy with your choice of I-95, the Merritt Parkway or Metro-North, which has four stops in Norwalk: East Norwalk, South Norwalk, Rowayton and Merritt 7 Corporate Park..
