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.

Here is a scenario for sellers to avoid. You contact a real estate agent to list your home and the agent suggests that you might get more for your house than comparable homes on the market. The agent assures you that it only takes finding one person who is willing to pay your price!
Some agents approach a listing appointment as if they are bidding for your home. The unfortunate result is that you start out with an unrealistic opinion of your home's value. There is often a strong temptation to work with a person who says what you want to hear. An experienced, reputable real estate agent will back up their opinion of your home's value with hard data. The agent should give you information about the listing price of homes that are currently on the market, and recent selling prices of similar properties in your immediate area.
Even the most heroic marketing efforts won't work on a property that is obviously overpriced, (except in the most exaggerated of seller's markets.) Even if you find a buyer who is willing to pay more than your home is worth, the sale could fall apart when the appraisal comes in lower than the agreed-upon price. Listen to everything, but be careful!
