Day trips to downtown Norwalk’s major attractions
Locals of Cranbury can travel 3 miles away to Norwalk, which has several attractions such as the Maritime Aquarium, Calf Pasture Beach and the District Music Hall. The nearest train station is 5 miles south in South Norwalk, which is a commuter rail stop for the Metro-North Railroad's New Haven Line.

He says that the area is desirable because it is quieter than New York, "but it's close to Norwalk & Westport's downtown and it's easy to commute from. You can hop on I-95, the train or Merritt Parkway and it's less than an hour to the city.” Cranbury is also about 4 miles away from Norwalk Hospital, which can be reached via Newton Avenue.
