Fairfield is a great Connecticut town, located in Fairfield County
In 2012 Fairfield was voted 64th in the Top 100 Towns to Live in the United States by Money Magazine. Fairfield is one of the larger towns in Fairfield County, with waterfront properties on scenic Long Island Sound and Fairfield University is located near the center of town.
If you are looking to live here there are many wonderful neighborhoods to consider. Last month we talked about the University area and Greenfield Hill. Fairfield is big, so this month I thought we could look closer at the Beach area in Fairfield and Southport, CT.
