The crime rate in Norwalk is considerably higher than the national average across all communities in America from the largest to the smallest, although at 19 crimes per one thousand residents, it is not among the communities with the very highest crime rate.

On top of that, residents have a high quality of life, with access to great schools, distinct neighborhoods and robust health care offerings. Rounded out with beaches, parks, historic sites and the Norwalk River, this city is full of beautiful scenery and lots of outdoor recreation options.

It is largely multi-family residential, but within its borders are single family streets that retain an old Connecticut suburban feel.
