Community and comfortable homes north of Norwalk
Less than 3 miles north of downtown Norwalk, Cranbury is a residential neighborhood with a strong sense of community.

Students study within the Norwalk School District, which is graded an overall B-plus on Niche. There are several nature trails and outdoor experiences to be had in Cranbury, which is predominantly covered in thick trees and wetlands. Though the neighborhood is mostly residential, shops and restaurants fill the southwest side of town along Main Street, Wall Street and Westport Avenue.

Stew Leonard’s is a regional indoor market with baked goods, produce, flowers and buffets of takeaway food. Owned and operated by brothers Graziano and Maurizio Ricci, both the Osteria Romana and Romanacci Italian restaurants “are places that people love. I enjoy them, too.

Up Main Street are locally owned restaurants, such as Dry Dock Bar & Grill, known for its brunch and chicken and waffles.

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. "Myself and a few other local realtors have moved a lot of New Yorkers to the area," Appel says. 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.
