WELCOME TO 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
