Great town and schools! It's a great seaside town with terrific schools. Fairfield has two high schools which keeps the enrollment at each school at a reasonable number. The town is very diverse and has many different types of neighborhoods including beach, lake, woodsy, etc..
I love living here. There is so much to offer from great dining and shopping, to cultural arts, and a close knit community with an abundance of family friendly activities that are complimentary for living here!
Yes, I would choose to live here again because I have made so many memories and friends here that I wouldn't trade for the world. This place has felt like home to me and everyone in my neighborhood is friendly and kind. Although this area is expensive, I still would live here again. I have always lived in Connecticut before now and it feels like my home, so I wouldn't want to have lived anywhere else. In the future, I hope to see the school system getting better and the crime rate decrease, wanting this place to turn around and become better. Also, people have begun to care more and more about the environment so I see everyone helping to make a change in the area.
