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 Fair-

field school system to gain acceptance at many of the most
elite universities in the world. Fairfield’s commitment to pro-

vide 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 Univer-

sity. While these college campuses add a special dimension
to the town’s diverse culture, it is abundantly clear that Fair-

field 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.

New England and New York’s economic, sports, and cultural
opportunities via Metro North’s New Haven, driving via I-95

and Merritt Parkway.
