Give it a chance! This is a great place to live overall. Amazing location, walking distance to Sono, parks, restaurants and it’s extremely quiet. Even with the train (which is super convenient), it was very quiet.
I agree with others, and the walls, the developer definitely cost saved in that department- but I wouldn’t say it’s anything worse than NYC apartment living. And there were some new building issues in the beginning but nothing since.
Great community, but what separates this place from anywhere else I have lived is the staff, especially Monique. She was fantastic in supporting and helping me during a very uncertain time with my move out date, extremely flexible and a GREAT partner.
For the location and price point, it’s a ideal option. If you want to come to Norwalk, check this place out!

I just moved out after living at Brim & Crown for about a year and a half. Besides the rent prices (which are high everywhere in Norwalk/Stamford) and lower quality insulation (just like most places where you can hear neighbors at times) I can not recommend this location enough! The staff (leasing office, maintenance, cleaners) are friendly, do their jobs and easy to get in touch with for any questions or needs. Shout out to Monique - she knows how to run an office and keep residents happy! The Crown building on the courtyard side is quiet and the units get great sunlight. I was shocked by the minimal noise you get being right at the train station. The location is perfect - an easy walk or drive to SoNo and Calf Pasture with the convenience of having a train stop steps away.

We moved in in November 2022 and have been loving living here. Christian was a great help throughout the whole move-in process. We love the large windows and kitchen appliances. The gym and all other common areas are amazing, we love playing games on the rooftop and are looking forward to using the grills in the summer. Parking and deliveries are super easy, there really is nothing we can complain about in this place.

Lived in the Brim building & absolutely loved it! Received so many compliments on the apartment, hosting was easy and the apartment had lots of natural light. Electric is through TTD which lead to bills being significantly lower compared to previous apartments.
Monique (the leasing manager) always went above and beyond with any matter raised. Maintenance was prompt and attentive when needed.
Would definitely recommend living here!

Wonderful time here so far. Moved in 2 months ago, no complaints at all. The staff is amazing, Erik was very helpful in helping us lock in our apartment here. The residents are all very friendly, and my dog especially loves all the other dogs here. No complaints at all and can’t wait to continue living here.
Love living here. I lived in a single then upgraded to a 2 BR to accommodate an office when I was switched to WFH full time

This place is very cool, and honestly seems like one of the most unique buildings in the area. The prices are a bit up there, but I think it is worth it if you can afford it. When you think of how close it is to the water, as well as the train being right out front, it isn't bad. I personally think the rooms are fairly spacious, especially the studios, and love the industrial aesthetic.
I toured this building and am only giving it 4/5 stars because I have only toured it and spoken with staff, whereas I would not feel authentic giving 5 stars for a place I have not actually lived. If I choose to move in, I am sure you can expect another review with 5 stars.
The employee who gave me the tour, Dan, was very charismatic and helpful, answering every question I had, as well as informing me of some things I should look for/ask when touring other apartments should Brim & Crown not be my choice. I also had an unexpected delay that lead to me being late for my tour, which he was very understanding about and flexible with. Overall I think this is one of the most unique places and pleasant experiences I've had while touring apartments.
