Rowayton

Rowayton is a small coastal village with an oversized sense of charm—community-minded, walkable, and effortlessly connected to the water, life in Rowayton has its own rhythm. Kayakers slipping out at sunrise, people walking dogs or pushing strollers, neighbors chatting at the market, beach-goers headed to Bayley Beach for a day on the sound or to enjoy the beachfront playground, watch a community baseball game, play some tennis or see a concert – fostering a genuine, tightly-knit community that feels like a year-round vacation. You’ll find more fun jammed into this tiny little town than you could imagine thanks to the Rowayton Civic Association and a disproportionate population of involved, imaginative and fun residents – Comedy Night, weekly summer concerts on the beach, Oktoberfest, Porch-Jam, Father-Daughter Ball, a Halloween that seems to encompass the whole town, a weekly farmer’s market, 4th of July Fireworks and a Memorial Day Parade just for Rowayton…plus the cutest, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it downtown with both a market for the essentials and also an acclaimed waterfront restaurant (“The Restaurant” at Rowayton Seafood). Architectural styles range from elevated cottages to striking waterfront homes, all wrapped in a relaxed, nautical aesthetic. Smaller lots and community involvement trump sprawl or reclusivity in Rowayton, a town whose spirit encompasses coastal ease, artistic energy, and true neighborhood warmth.
