Bordering beautiful Long Island Sound, Norwalk balances a flourishing economy with a suburban and residential atmosphere.  The presence of commuter rail service is appealing to many, although the town has welcomed an influx of offices and research facilities that have added more employment opportunities close to home.  The lovely harbor enhances the quality of life, evolving into one of New England’s largest and most popular recreational marinas.  Norwalk has been named by Money Magazine as one of the best places to live in the nation, offering everything from modest homes in the heart of the city to waterfront developments like the scenic harbor village of Rowayton.  The revitalized downtown district of SoNo, the area’s active cultural community, good schools, and superb recreational advantages will continue to maintain Norwalk’s place at the pinnacle of desirability.
