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
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, driving via I-95 and
Merritt Parkway.
