The feel of the town
Fairfield is a classic shoreline town with five miles of beaches, historic districts like Southport and Greenfield Hill, and a busy downtown with shops and restaurants. Two universities bring energy, events and culture.
Neighborhoods range from walkable beach areas to quiet, wooded streets in the north end of town, all with easy access to three train stations and I-95.
