I've lived in Norwalk all my life and am currently raising a family here. The great thing about Norwalk is it has just about anything you are looking for. There are quiet little communities, newly built trendy apartments for young adults, wealthy areas, poor areas, middle class areas, wooded areas, beach communities, typical suburbs etc. The beaches are beautifully maintained and there are lots of parks and playgrounds. People from surrounding communities come into Norwalk for our great restaurants, bars and shopping. The convenience of living here cannot be understated. Everything you need is within 5 minutes and in town. I rarely leave town for shopping, if ever.
The people in Norwalk are really down to earth and unpretentious, but a little guarded.
The school system is the best of the three major cities in the area (Norwalk, Bridgeport, Stamford). If you are an involved parent your children will get everything they need from the school system.

I love all of the new infrastructure they have built over the past few years! We have brand new restaurants-- Colony Pizza, Barcelona, Bobby Q's, Sedona, Rincon, Gyro World, etc. which make this a more desirable location.
Also, they will have a mall built out by 2019 that will include a Nordstrom and Bloomingdales.

This is my town! I have love living here; it has everything I could want from a bustling downtown to a quaint seaside community to the perfect suburbs for raising a family. Everything I ever wanted was within walking distance and even if it wasn't, I can walk to the train station.
