Below I’ll explore the most common pros and cons of moving to Rowayton. If you are thinking about living in Rowayton, you will find that this information helps you in making the right decision for you and your family. Let's take a look.

Hi, if you’re new to the channel my name is Charlie Vinci and I’m a local realtor, and my family and I have been in the area for 5 generations. All of the information that I mention below is available right here. If you are seriously considering living in Rowayton, you have got to go check it out.

Village Area

One of the biggest pros of living in Rowayton has to be the village area with its excellent restaurants, supermarket, post office, and banks. Most days, you won't have to leave the community. If you are looking for a charming nautical village like this, it's going to be more expensive in the other gold coast towns.

If you want to know more about the village area and the other amenities that Rowayton offers, be sure to check out our Rowayton neighborhood tour.

Waterfront Real Estate

Also, If you like waterfront real estate, compared to the neighboring towns of Darien and Westport, Rowayton Real Estate has relatively affordable options. And it’s not just any waterfront, we are talking about the same views with dock and mooring access at all tides. This is a fairly ideal neighborhood for boaters.

The trade off is that the lots are typically smaller in Rowayton compared to either Darien, or Westport. If you like Rowayton, but the small lots are a concern for you, you may want to explore Wilson Point. It's a private gated community and the homes offer larger lots.

Taxes

If you are spending the same money in either Darien or Westport, you will notice that the taxes are a bit higher in Rowayton, however, since you get more home for your money, you may not need to spend as much to get what you are looking for. 

Condos

If you're looking for a high end condo, I would say that you have a ton of options, but when a high end condo does list, they are hard to match. You can visit my website to see what homes are available and save the search to get notified when a listing matches your criteria.

Active Lifestyle

If you are looking for a community that is conducive to keeping you fit, whether you like to walk, run or ride your bike, Rowayton is an excellent option with its numerous parks as well as Bayley Beach which is exclusive to Rowayton residents. Just a quick tip, if you are looking at a home in the Northern part of the neighborhood, confirm that the home has access to Bayley Beach before you purchase, because you will find that some homes in Northern Rowayton do not.
