Brim & Crown

We lived at Brim and Crown for 1 year and absolutely loved it. Great community, very dog friendly, and an awesome gym. The location is good as well as it's right next to the East Norwalk train station, a short walk from Seaside Ave and 1st for beautiful sunsets, tons of restaurants close by, and Magic 5 Pizza right downstairs. Riley was always attentive and great to work with as well. If it wasn't for my company moving states we would have stayed longer. We'll miss it at B&C!

This review is a huge shout out to Riley who goes above and beyond and made our move in process well organized, and easy. Riley was at a previous building we lived in. He has a ton of work integrity, is super attentive to the tenant’s and the building’s needs- to the very best of his power anyway. For us, having Riley there makes things so much better! Also a big thank you to the quick and efficient maintenance team.

Despite charging their tenants a monthly amenity fee, using the common space is an additional $200 per hour for groups of 3 or more. This includes to use a space that (a) has people walking through it regularly to access their apartments and (b) has a lovely view of workout equipment. Don’t move here if you enjoy hosting and don’t have $1000 to spare for party!

I moved from Minnesota to the East Coast about 10 months ago and couldn’t be happier with my decision to live here. From day one, the front desk staff has been incredibly helpful, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to make residents feel welcome. The cleaning staff is consistently cheerful and keeps the property spotless — it really shows how much pride they take in their work. Whenever a maintenance issue comes up, the team is quick to respond and resolve it, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. Overall, this community has truly felt like home, and that’s why I just renewed my lease for another 15 months. I’m grateful to be here and excited for what’s ahead!

Outrageously expensive amenities. When touring, a major selling point will be the common areas that you could potentially use. What they will not mention is that will request you pay $200/hour to use those spaces with guests. Additionally, that price point and rule is controlled by a policy external to your lease allowing them to change the cost at any time. There are cameras in the common areas to enforce this, so I hope you enjoy your parties being on tape. Additionally the buildings are in need of serious maintenence with crooked doors, leaks, and water damage becoming more prevalent as time goes on.
