WELCOME TO 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
