THE STORY OF FAIRFIELD



            Fairfield, Connecticut is a town consistently celebrated

            by Money magazine as one of the Best Places to Live. The
            iconic town of Fairfield is situated on the picturesque and
            ecologically flourishing Long Island Sound, home to five town

            beaches and miles of sandy shores. Fairfield is renowned for

            its natural beauty, strong community, enviable cuisine, and a
            dynamic interplay of seaside and countryside living.



            Long noted for the Community’s scholastic prowess, Fairfield

            Residents are accustomed to witnessing a very significant
            percentage of children matriculate from the illustrious Fairfield
            school system to gain acceptance at many of the most elite

            universities in the world. Fairfield’s commitment to provide a

            superior education for all of its children accounts for its well
            respected eleven elementary schools, three middle schools,
            and four high schools, two of which are private.




            Fairfield is also home to two highly regarded institutions
            of higher learning, Fairfield University and Sacred Heart
            University, alphabetically and respectively. While these college

            campuses add a special dimension to the town’s diverse

            culture, it is abundantly clear that Fairfield in general is not
            part of a College Town... but rather, the Colleges are a part of
            Fairfield.




            The town of Fairfield Department of Parks and Recreation
            maintains 170 acres of parks, 5 miles of beaches, 36 playing
            fields, 2 golf courses, 2 marinas, a Fitness Center, 31 asphalt

            tennis courts, amongst other important recreational facilities.

            This enviable lifestyle becomes even more compelling when
            realizing that Fairfield offers great transportation access for
            New England and New York’s economic, sports, and cultural

            opportunities via Metro North’s New Haven, driving via I-95

            and Merritt Parkway
