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 or Amtrak
service, driving via I-95 and Merritt Parkway.
