South Norwalk

While SoNo has a catchy name, it is actually a neighborhood within the larger South Norwalk, which prior to 1913 was its won town.  South Norwalk stretches along the coast until it turns into Rowayton, itself its own town. Elegant Victorians in Golden Hill, and home to Flax hill Park, Village Creek, Wilson’s Point, and Harborview— the neighborhoods of South Norwalk feature water views and coastal living.
