The feel of the town
Brookfield sits between Connecticut's two largest lakes, Candlewood Lake on the west and Lake Lillinonah on the east, in the foothills of the Berkshires. Lake neighborhoods, quiet residential streets and a revitalized town center with new shops and apartments define the town.
Route 7 and I-84 make it an easy commute to Danbury and Fairfield County.
