Fairfield County overall is a location flooded with family values, and is a nice and calm area to live in. The education is great, so are our government representatives, and one thing that has stood out to me living here is that there is always a community to be apart of, and there are always fun child inclusive events to enjoy. However, even though there is much more diversity compared to the rest of Connecticut, I have always expected to see more, due to being so close to New York City.
I love that there are such a wide variety of restaurants to choose from. There is something to do in Fairfield and if there isn't, there are many places nearby to go!
Overall Fairfield is a very good place to live. Lots of restaurants, 3 venues with entertainment plus Fairfield U. The beaches are good but the water can get bad. Good biking, tennis, open land for walking and golf in town. Taxes are high for what you get. Crime is higher than it should be but the schools are excellent.
