NEIGHBORHOOD
The house is located in a very desirable part of Norwalk (called West Norwalk) right behind Oakhill Park Golf Course with its popular restaurant CLUBHOUSE GRILL which has an unforgettable view of the golf course.
The main street (Connecticut Ave) with all stores (including 2 large grocery stores, more than affordable Patel Brothers store, pharmacies, Wal-Mart, Home Goods, even Costco, etc.) is right around the corner and same is true about I95 highway and 2 Train Stations.
In other words, the location of the house is convenient to everything, which was one of the reasons we bought it.
Historic Washington Street with its 5-star restaurants and tables on the walkway will make you feel like you are in Europe (5 min away from the house).
If you have children, don't forget to visit Children's Museum in Mathews Park with its all-season water activities and numerous events (5 min from the house).
And certainly visit grocery store Stew Leonard's which is also 5 min from the house. Indeed, if you don't have this store in your area, do yourselves a favor and check out on Stew. It has delicious meats, dairy, etc. as well as a buffet with a salad bar, soups and other delicious dishes, although Stew has never been just about the food: it is a special place with a country vibe and rustic wood as well as other country decor along with live animals outside and mechanicals toys inside the store and of course its famous Halloween rides to a spooky pavilion and a huge Christmas Tree in December.
Stew Leonard's has everything to make you feel you are on vacation. Have few scoops of freshly-made ice-cream or my favorite frozen yogurt, relax and forget about all your troubles and worries in this beloved more-than-a- store favorite hangout of so many adults and children.
If you are into beach (Who isn't?) then go to famous historic Calf Pasture Beach (which is a beach and park) and adjacent Shady Beach where you could picnic and grill. Enjoy swimming, sunbathing, playing volleyball or attend numerous evens hold on Calf Pasture Beach. The beach is about 10 min from the house.
If you like hiking, fishing, etc. you will certainly enjoy famous and one of a kind Mianus River Park which is 15 min away from the house.
If you are into shopping like your host, no need to go to NYC to shop (instead go to NYC for sightseeing), because Norwalk has just launched a huuuge shopping center SONO COLLECTION (5 min from the house) with the same high-end stores NYC has as well as many restaurants. You could spend a day in this shopping center and still may not have enough time to visit all stores.
Also, you could take a 5-min dirve and go to historic nautical village of Rowayton (although it is part of Norwalk, it is very different from the rest of the town), park your car and take a stroll among 17-18-century Victorians, attend Memorial Day Parade (unforgettable memory) and sample whipped cream with strawberries... or.... treat yourself to a free Shakespeare play (in late spring-beginning of summer) in Rowayton historic Pinkney Park (just bring a blanket)... or... visit this park to attend Farmer's Market, and listen to numerous summer bands... or.... play tennis at Rowayton Baily Beach... or go to famous Rowayton Seafood restaurant with gorgeous water views... you name it....
And don't forget to attend Norwalk famous Oyster Festival (Sept 6-8)
In short (unless it is too late for that :)), you could find in Norwalk so many things to make you happy and feel like you are on the best vacation whether you visit Norwalk for leisure or business.
And if Norwalk is still not enough for you :), visit upscale Westport where Paul Newman lived and started his career in a local theater (10 min from the house) or Stamford (10 min from the house), or go to famous Greenwich which has one of the most expensive zip codes in the U.S and where you could stumble on a celebrity anytime, and which is 15 min away from the house.
Norwalk-Stamford area were singled-out as the best places to live in the U.S. Come and see for yourselves! Explore Norwalk and surrounding towns! Bring home memories which will keep your heart warm for a long time. In addition, I will certainly do my best to make sure you are happy. Happy guests is the whole point of having a VRBO business.
