ROWAYTON Rowayton is part of Norwalk, which was purchased from the Siwanoy Indians in about 1651. Within two decades, property deeds in the district were referring to the "Rowayton Area" of Norwalk, although the spelling varied. In the period of 1860-90, Rowayton was an oystering center. Bayley Beach, part of Neville Bayley Park, is owned and maintained by the District for the exclusive use of its residents. Sixth District residents may obtain permits for beach use by application at the Library of Bayley Beach, starting in May. Lifeguard services are provided in season. A snack bar is usually open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The Rowayton Elementary School and Roton Middle School are located within the district, with Brien McMahon High School just over the border. Three nursery schools serve the community. For more information on Rowayton Schools- go to my School Information Page. Recreational facilities in Rowayton include Bayley Beach, open to all residents without charge, the Rowayton Tennis Association and the Rowayton Paddle Tennis Association, annual dues required. Bayley Beach was once a part of Roton Point Amusement Park, in operation from the late 1800's until late 1942. Nearby Pine Point and Bell Island have their own beaches, but residents may also use Bayley.  Request my Free Rowayton Relocation Package.

Making An Offer >Keeping Your Earnest Money Safe
When you make an offer on a house, it is accompanied by an earnest money check. Earnest money is intended to demonstrate that you are "in earnest" about purchasing the property. The earnest money check is made out to the listing company. What happens to this check?
The party holding the check acts as an escrow agent until you go into closing. At that time you will receive credit for the amount of your check against the down payment and closing costs. Real estate brokers are required by law to keep escrow funds in a special account. These funds cannot be used to pay any other expenses associated with the sale. If you don't complete the transaction, the purchase contract determines the disposition of your earnest money funds. Be sure to review this part of your contract with the real estate agent.
If you are in default on your agreement, the funds may go to the sellers, so be sure that you understand the deadlines in order to avoid breach of contract and forfeiture of your deposit. If you have any questions, be sure to ask your real estate agent for advice.
