Fairfield County, Connecticut
Fairfield County hugs Connecticut’s southwest corner. It’s where New York City’s influence bleeds over the border. Here’s where you’ll find Fortune 500 companies next to small-town greens.
The county has beaches, woods, and everything in between. Stamford’s skyline gives Hartford a run for its money. There are the ritzy Greenwich mansions who rub shoulders with Bridgeport’s gritty urban vibe.
It’s a land of contrasts. Fairfield County is where Wall Street types come to sleep and where you can grab both a slice of New Haven-style pizza and a lobster roll in the same day. It’s Connecticut’s golden child, for better or worse.
