Nestled between Lake Candlewood and Lake Lillinonah, Brookfield is a lovely rural community that in many ways still looks like something out of Currier and Ives, offering at the same time some of the best shopping in the Northeast. Many families are attracted by the combination of New England charm and easy access to major transportation routes. Interstate 84 connects with Hartford, White plains and New York City, and Route 7 funnels commuters to the lower Fairfield County towns of Wilton, Norwalk, and Stamford.

Brookfield residents enjoy solid base of eductional and cultural activities, including fine public schools, one parochial school, and an excellent town library. Brookfield Craft Center, located in a renovated mill, has received international recognition for the quality of it’s work. The Brookfield Players Theater Group stages plays in the summer and fall.

Well managed planning and zoning preserve the rural quality and picturesque beauty of residential areas. Active citizen’s groups help keep open spaces and nature preserves in pristine condition. Winding roads meander through the woods, affording privacy to homes ranging in style from colonial to contemporary, most of them built in the last half-century.
