    "We’ve lived in Norwalk since 2019 and really love it here! The beach is fantastic, the parks are lovely, so many easy access to shops, and a plethora of amazing restaurants, not to mention activities for kids. The only downside for me is systemic issues with BoE and quality of schools."

    "There are great educational opportunities in the area which includes a Magnet School. The neighbourhood is in walking distance to downtown entertainment, local parks, waterfronts, and the transit (bus and/or train) are easily accessible. There is a variety of religious institutions no matter your beliefs. The hospital and police station are close by. More importantly, what gives this town its charm is the people. A diverse community of individuals who found a way to blend their cultural differences to make a place feel like home. "
