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.
