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 11 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 4 high

        schools, 2 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 listed. 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 both 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.
