Affluent and culturally
exciting Fairfield is ideally positioned for
elegant living, an abundance of leisure
activities and convenient travel to metropolitan
areas. Situated on Long Island Sound,
Fairfield's 6-mile coastline and pristine
beaches are a summer playground for watersport
enthusiasts and sun worshippers alike.
Overlooking the Mill River, several beautifully
landscaped parks offer the tranquil pleasures of
picnicking, bicycling, walking and nature study.
Residents may swim in freshwater at Lake Mohegan
and, in the winter months, ice skating is
enjoyed at Owen Fish Park, Sturges Pond and
Gould Manor Park. Professionals will find
Hartford and Manhattan equidistant from this
captivating atmosphere.
An extensive and diverse range of housing suits
the most selective tastes and pricing
requirements of residents. There are stately
colonials dating from the late 1700s, Greek
Revival, Federal and Victorian homes, as well as
striking contemporary structures and a wide
variety of condominiums.
Fairfield offers a solid education to the
student population. The program features a
general academic curriculum, accelerated classes
for exceptional pupils and a specialized agenda
for the handicapped.
Grand homes, the marina, stately churches and
many well-preserved buildings are nationally
recognized as historic landmarks. There are
three historic districts and one historic area.
The Pequot Library, in Southport, one of three
public libraries, maintains one of the nation's
most impressive collections of rare volumes and
Americana.
