Fairfield County Reviews
Rating 4.23 out of 5 61 reviews
I love how safe it is and I love the historical landmarks. Downtown is full on old buildings that have that lovely old building scent like Town Hall. I love the cemeteries, the parks, and nature trails. Best part is we have a Dairy Queen. Best ice cream ever! We have music shops, coffee shops, work out places, a place to mountain climb, flower shops, ect. I've lived here my whole life and still finding new places that I've never been to. I love it here.
A wonderful town have lived here all my life. It is always cleanly, and the community is very tight knit. There is a vibrant walkable town center with a variety of small businesses, boutiques, and a lively restaurant scene. There are many outstanding choices from fine dining, to casual and family friendly, historic taverns and plenty of outdoor dining experiences.
A great place for everyone. Great schools, neighborhoods, communities, etc. I have lived here my whole life and I love it. There's great restaurants, malls and small shops. You fall into the east coast vibe right off the bat! There's beaches, and night life. What more could you want!
