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 cologically

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. 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.
