While Norwalk, CT is often associated with affluent waterfront communities such as Bell Island, Wilson Point, and Rowayton, it also boasts Gregory Point, one of Connecticut’s best-kept secrets for more casual waterfront living. Nestled on the Connecticut shoreline amid the scenic Norwalk Islands, and established in 1659 by Captain John Gregory, one of the original founders of Norwalk, Gregory Point is a beautiful coastal neighborhood with picturesque scenery, deep-water docks, and city moorings. Gregory Point is a welcoming neighborhood of varying-size homes, some direct waterfront with private docks and others with water views. The community is comprised of a lovely combination of young families, young professionals, and empty-nesters.
Located minutes from the South Norwalk train station, this easy-access seaside neighborhood is a quick commute to New York City by car or train. While it feels like a private enclave, it is just steps away from the best that Norwalk has to offer. At the end of the point, walking-distance from most homes, is the Shore and Country Club, which offers spectacular views and some of the finest swimming, tennis, and yachting facilities in the area. Local public beaches include Calf Pasture, Harbor View, and more. The Shorehaven Golf Course offers fabulous golfing and other country club activities. Nearby destinations like Sprite Island Yacht Club are perfect for sailing and swimming, and a short car ride takes you right into Historic South Norwalk, where you can visit the Maritime Center, shop at fabulous boutiques, or dine at the many trendy restaurants and night spots.
Some current home offerings on Gregory Point:
For a beautiful direct waterfront home with five bedrooms, a large yard, and private deepwater dock, please visit 9 Sylvester Court, Norwalk, CT.
For a quintessential 1930’s coastal colonial full of charming details, a wraparound porch, and completely renovated with today’s modern amenities, please visit 3 Decker Street, East Norwalk, CT.
If you’ve always dreamt of living in amazing coastal town, consider Gregory Point.
