Diverse downtown Norwalk and Stew Leonard’s
Less than 3 miles north of Norwalk, Wolfpit residents have access to lots of dining experiences on both Washington Street and Main Street. “The thing I love about Norwalk is that it’s diverse, so you get a lot of food options,” Balestriere says. “No matter if it’s delicious Indian, Thai or Spanish foods, there are people bringing authentic cuisine and culture to the area." Closer to home, residents can explore shops on Westport Avenue like Stew Leonard’s, a Norwalk-originated indoor market with groceries, cut flowers and takeaway buffet food. “Stew Leonard’s is a tourist attraction in Norwalk,” Balestriere says. “Kids love it because they can press buttons and activate animatronics that sing to you all over the store.” For everyday errands, there is a Whole Foods down the road.

Westport’s downtown and Calf Pasture Beach
With Norwalk less than 3 miles south, commuting downtown is a short drive for most residents in the area. Wolfpit is also 4 miles north of Shady Beach Park, the Taylor Farm Dog Park and Calf Pasture Beach. “If you go down Strawberry Hill, which is almost a straight shot, it’s about a 25-minute bike ride for someone who would like to bike to the beach,” Balestriere says. Westport to the east has a charming downtown space and is only 2 miles away. Norwalk Hospital is about 3 miles south in case of emergencies or checkups.
Wolfpit’s marshy wetlands and ponds
Because of its marshy wetlands and proximity to the Saugatuck River and Fourteen Acre Pond, some parts of Wolfpit may experience slight flooding during heavy rainfall in springtime.
