The average Norwalk sale price is $1.2 million, but there's no average home. See four that prove it.
If I handed you $1.2 million to buy a home in Norwalk today, what would you choose? That number isn't just something I pulled out of the air. It's the average selling price in Norwalk so far in 2026. What's fascinating is that four homes can all sell for right around that same price and still offer completely different lifestyles.
So let's walk through four of them, each one with the same price tag and a totally different feel, and you tell me which one fits you best.
98 Comstock Hill Avenue, Silvermine
Our first stop is 98 Comstock Hill Avenue in Silvermine, which sold for $1.214 million and sits on an incredible 1.45-acre property. Even though it's 1,880 square feet, the land makes it feel like your own private retreat. Built in 1922, it's full of character, from exposed beams and fireplaces to a beautifully updated kitchen with butcher block and quartz countertops, French doors leading to a screened porch, and a dedicated home office. With three bedrooms and two baths, it packs a lot of personality into a manageable footprint. If privacy, charm, and a little bit of history sit at the top of your wish list, this one checks those boxes.
7 Tommy's Lane, West Norwalk
Next up is 7 Tommy's Lane in West Norwalk. This renovated ranch sold for $1.210 million and offers 2,154 square feet, with three bedrooms and two baths on just over half an acre. Everything is on one level, which makes it ideal for anyone who wants easy living without giving up style. Inside, you'll find a gourmet kitchen, an open floor plan, a cozy den, and a spacious primary suite. There's also a huge unfinished walkout basement with plenty of room for storage or future expansion. If one-floor living and move-in-ready condition are your priorities, this one is a great contender.
"The average price might be $1.2 million, but there really isn't an average home."
47 Shorefront Park, South Norwalk
Now for something completely different. 47 Shorefront Park sold for $1.150 million and is the smallest house we're touring today at 1,796 square feet. It's located in trendy South Norwalk, so what it may lack in size, it more than makes up for in lifestyle. With three bedrooms and two baths, and set in the Shorefront Park neighborhood, you're a short stroll from the private beach and kayak park, with SoNo's restaurants, shops, marinas, and waterfront all nearby. If your dream is coastal living where weekends revolve around the water, this one is hard to beat. If you love the idea of the shoreline, you might also enjoy what goes into selling a waterfront home in Norwalk.
350 Chestnut Hill Road, Cranbury
Our final stop is 350 Chestnut Hill Road in Cranbury. If your priority is space, this home delivers. It sold for $1.285 million and offers 5,360 square feet, including the finished lower level, with five bedrooms, four and a half baths, and it's on 1.51 acres. Inside, you'll find soaring ceilings, two fireplaces, a dedicated home office, a spacious family room, and a finished lower level that's perfect for guests, recreation, or even a possible in-law suite. For buyers who want room to spread out, this one offers incredible value.
There’s no such thing as an average home
So which one would you choose? Would you pick the charm and privacy of Silvermine, easy one-level living in West Norwalk, the coastal lifestyle in Shorefront Park, or all the space Cranbury has to offer? That's what I love about Norwalk. The average price might be $1.2 million, but there really isn't an average home. Each one is unique and offers a very different lifestyle and set of amenities. If you're weighing very different neighborhoods, my rundown of choosing between Norwalk condos and single-family homes is a helpful next read, and you can always browse more of my Fairfield County neighborhoods to see where you feel most at home.
