Moving to Fairfield, CT

shri1204 · May 16, 2010

Hi,

We are planning to move in July. Our kids are 7 and 2 and we are looking for a neighbourhood that is convenient for schooling.

I understand that the town is very good as regards schools. I am here to ask about -
1. What are the good areas to take up a rented home?
2. Which are the neighbourhoods to be avoided?
3. Preschool options

Thanks in advance.

Hi Shri,

I live in Fairfield with my 2 years old twins for last two years and love it. To answer your questions; where your husband and you would be working; If need to commute by train then live close by train station. (Parking wait time is 4 to 5 years). All neighborhoods are good in Fairfield. For Preschool options I would suggest look into YMCA child programs.

Please feel free to ask any questions.

Thanks
Paramjit

Thanks Paramjit. Great to know about your twins We could join your playgroup or start one along with you guys.

We would not need to commute a long distance to work. So we are focussing on a neighbourhood close to the children's schools. Have seen several places online, but want to know as to what is a good price for a rented apartment/house.

Regards
Hima
