Greenfield Hill
Inland Fairfield — orchards, antique farmhouses, top schools
Greenfield Hill is the inland hilly section of Fairfield, north of the Merritt Parkway, defined by 1-2 acre lots, antique colonial farmhouses, and the namesake Greenfield Hill Congregational Church on the historic village green. The neighborhood is best-known for its annual Dogwood Festival in May, when the orchards' white and pink dogwoods bloom and the village green is closed to traffic. Housing is a mix of preserved 18th and 19th-century farmhouses, mid-century colonials, and recently-built farmhouse-style new construction. Buyers in Greenfield Hill tend to want acreage, mature trees, top public schools (Greenfield Hill Elementary, then Tomlinson Middle and Fairfield Ludlowe High), and a more rural feel than the Sound-side parts of Fairfield town. The trade-off: a longer drive to the train and the beach.
