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. 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.

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.

economic, sports, and cultural opportunities via Metro North’s New
Haven, driving via I-95 and Merritt Parkway.
