The most expensive coastline neighborhood of Norwalk is Rowayton. The waterfront diversity and the boating community makes it one of the best places for waterfront homes. Rowayton has its own downtown area abutting the Five Mile River, with a farmer's market, shops, the famous Arts Center, a gym, restaurants and more.
Rowayton has several private beaches owned by HOAs like, Rowayton Beach, Pine Point and Belle Island. Bayley beach is open for all Rowayton residents and there is also Wee Burn - a private beach club that you can enjoy if you become a member.
The southern part of Rowayton is a highly sought-after area due to the stunning views of Long Island Sound and easy access to docks.
Most waterfront homes of Rowayton have private docks, and also available for Rowayton boaters there are Rowayton Marine Works and Rowayton Yacht Club on the Five Mile River Harbor, or Rowayton Yacht Club at Hickory Bluff on Wilson Cove. Roton Point Association is another great club for boaters, offering great programs for students, weekend races and regattas.
