THE STORY OF TRUMBULL
Trumbull was incorporated in 1797, and is a residential
community with New England charm. The town has an active
and community minded population of just over 35,000 and
over 1800 acres of park land with numerous recreational
facilities. Residents can enjoy the 2 outdoor pools, 1 indoor
pool, 18 hole golf course, numerous tennis courts, ball
fields, BMX track, amphitheater, walking and biking trails,
playgrounds etc. located throughout the town. Trumbull
residents are also able to purchase a beach sticker for the
Fairfield or Stratford Beaches at a nominal cost.
Shopping is available at the Westfield Shopping town Mall in
Trumbull with lead stores of Lord and Taylor, Macy's, Target ,
Gap, Abercrombie, Talbots, J Crew, Brookstone … just a slice
of the over 200 offered.
The town of Trumbull is located just a few miles inland off
the coast of Long Island Sound in the mid-eastern section
of Fairfield County. One of the many fine qualities the town
of Trumbull has to offer is a very well planned mix of old and
new, of residential and commercial, and of town and city.
One of the best things about Trumbull, with the exception of
the impressive public school reputation, is that you can feel
a true sense of the privacy offered in the rolling suburban
neighborhoods, but always remain only five minutes away
from everything!
A large portion of the working population is professional and
managerial. modern zoning requirements accommodate the
needs of research and development firms and light industry.
While allowing for innovative residential development, and
97% of housing is single-family dwellings. Residential lots are
1/2 acre to 1 acre parcels unless predated by zoning. Housing
costs range from approximately $280,000 to over $1,500,000.
