Moving to Norwalk, CT
About Norwalk
Norwalk is a coastal city on Long Island Sound with a working waterfront, a historic village feel in South Norwalk (SoNo), and a growing downtown. Housing stock mixes SoNo condos and new-construction apartments along the train line, older colonials, capes and ranches in the suburbs, and waterfront luxury in Rowayton and along the shore. It is the most urban-feeling option on this list, with a genuine downtown restaurant and nightlife scene.
