Fairfield is a town located in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States. It is situated along the Gold Coast of Connecticut. Fairfield is a town of many neighborhoods, two of which?Southport and Greenfield Hill?are notably affluent. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total population of 57,340. In July 2006, Money Magazine ranked Fairfield the ninth "best place to live" in the United States, and the best place to live in the Northeast.[1] This is primarily due to its affluence, low crime rate with only three homicides in the last five years [2] , excellent public school system, suburban character, scenic location on the Long Island Sound, and proximity to New York City. The town was also listed among the "preppiest" places in the United States in the tongue-in-cheek 1980s best-seller The Official Preppy Handbook.

It considers itself the "dogwood capital of the world," and each spring a Dogwood Festival takes place in the Greenfield Hill neighborhood.

The town is on the shore of the Long Island Sound. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 31.3 square miles (81.1 km?), of which, 30.0 square miles (77.8 km?) of it is land and 3.4 km? (1.3 sq mi or 4.15%) of it is water. The Mill River, the waters of which feed Lake Mohegan, flows through the town.

Fairfield consists of many neighborhoods. The best known are wealthy Southport -- where well-known General Electric Chief Executive Officer Jack Welch lived for many years?and Greenfield Hill, with its large areas, famous dogwood trees, and picturesque green with white-spired Congregational church. Other well established neighborhoods include Stratfield, Tunxis Hill, the University area, Grasmere, Mill Plain, Knapp's Village, Melville Village, Holland Hill, and the Fairfield Beach area, which has recently undergone a renaissance with the construction of many new homes by residents wising to live in proximity to the beach and downtown.[5] Two shopping districts in town include the Post Road (U.S. 1) and Black Rock Turnpike Neighborhoods

Professional versus do-it-yourself There are three main approaches to managing a home improvement project: hiring a general contractor, directly hiring specialized contractors, or doing the work oneself.

A general contractor oversees a home improvement project that involves multiple trades. A general contractor acts as project manager, providing access to the site, removing debris, coordinating work schedules, and performing some aspects of the work.

Fairfield CT homeowners, according to the Remodeling Sentiment Report bypass the general contractor, and hire tradesmen themselves, including plumbers, electricians and roofers.

Fairfield CT Playing a critical role are the professional associations created to represent the architects, architectural technologists, interior designers and skilled trades that provide specialized services to homeowners.

Fairfield CT is a very big city.

Former industrial sites within the city were discovered to be heavily polluted, leaving Bridgeport with extensive environmental costs and damage. Sites were abandoned, and sometimes burned by arson. Areas of the city resembled ghost towns.

After a quarter century of troubles, in the early 21st century, Bridgeport seems to be rebounding. It is becoming a center of service industries. With long commutes and competition with expensive housing in the region, some people are moving back into the city for its more affordable housing.[citation needed]

A portion of the harbor in Fairfield CT Like other northeastern cities suffering from the effects of Post World War II industrial decline, Bridgeport made numerous efforts at revitalization. In one proposal Las Vegas developer Steve Wynn was to build a large casino, but that project failed to materialize.

More recently, the City of Fairfield CT has taken steps to acquire the last parcels in private hands to be able to develop better packages for redevelopment. The city's many historic buildings are being renovated into residential and retail units, and offer architectural texture. Its waterfront location will be a draw. Neighborhoods Downtown Fairfield CT
