south norwalk, ct

it's official: at the end of this month we're moving to south norwalk, ct. what? we're asking ourselves the same question! this wasn't our original plan {you will remember, about a month ago we were 99% sure we were staying in the city}. we searched high and low from east harlem to the upper east side to midtown east to tudor city. everywhere. but nothing felt right.

so we explored connecticut. after a great amount more of searching, we found a place to call home for the next two years!


these were some of the key selling points:
- perfect location between new york city and new haven {45 minutes to the city; 30 minutes to new haven}
- two blocks away from the metro north train station
- a few blocks from the beach {!!}
- cute, charming neighborhood
- so much more space for so much less money {our favorite game to play is "what can we get in ct for what we pay in nyc" - a four bedroom, three and a half bath, swimming pool, chef's kitchen..okay, maybe i'm exaggerating - but not by much!}

for a frame of reference, this is what my commute will be to work every day. back and forth. every day. luckily my office is a couple blocks north of grand central! i'm arming myself with books, podcasts, journal and secretly looking forward to the peaceful time to myself.


overall we're excited for a new adventure! at the same time, we're sad to leave so many wonderful friends. but please, please don't be strangers - we're only 45 minutes away, living in "the country."
