A New England beach town
East Norwalk, Connecticut is a New England beach town that feels removed from city life yet remains conducive to it. “It’s very quaint, family-friendly and it’s right along the water,” says Realtor Gloria Dillard with Keller Williams Gold Coast, an area resident of 20 years. “It attracts commuters who work in New York City but want a more relaxed, suburban lifestyle.” Although it is just a brief train ride from Manhattan, East Norwalk feels a world apart from the rush of the Big Apple. Kids ride bikes along broad seaside paths to the shore, stopping for huge soft serve ice cream cones along the way. People of all ages row boats in the river, cast lines into the Long Island Sound or simply enjoy reading on the porches of their bungalow. With a popular golf club and renowned restaurants within reach, East Norwalk is a small town with plenty of heart.

Calf Pasture Beach
East Norwalk residents are never far from looking out on the Long Island Sound. Calf Pasture Point is one of the most popular spots, equipped with a skatepark, a miniature golf course and a stretch of beach where locals can cast lines and fish from their lawn chairs. “Calf Pasture Beach is the city of Norwalk’s beach,” Dillard says. “There are lots of walking paths and biking paths. It’s just a great beachfront community.” Shady Beach Park is right next door to Calf Pasture and features picnic tables, swing sets and a playground. Four-legged friends will enjoy a trip to Taylor Farm Dog Park, where they can run in open fields or swim in the pond. Shorehaven Golf Club is a private course founded in 1924 with a unique 18-hole course that will thrill golf enthusiasts.

Getting home on the Gold Coast
East Norwalk is a typical New England beach town where Colonial and Craftsman cottages are often found next to beach-side bungalows. A three-bedroom Colonial closer to the interstate begins around $550,000, with prices for three-bedroom Craftsman Foursquares rising over $1 million closer to the shore. The area is quickly growing in popularity, leading to new development along the shoreline. “Unfortunately, a lot of the older, smaller beach houses are being taken down, and new construction is replacing it,” Dillard says. “If buyers are interested, though, now is the time to get in before it starts to outprice the area. It’s rapidly developing.”

East Norwalk is just a short train ride from Manhattan, but residents do not need to leave their home when looking for things to do.

However, locals do not need to leave the neighborhood to find excellent restaurants.
