Southport, Fairfield Real Estate & Homes For Sale

"The neighborhood is gorgeous, private, it Is directly in the forest and has beautiful trees and wildlife and for the most part neighbors keep to themselves"

"Southport village is a rare treasure, so close to New York City: a stable, very upscale but unpretentious seaside community. Some Southporters trace their roots back to pre-Revolution days. Others have been more recently welcomed here. Once they learn how wonderful Southport really is, no one wants to leave. The community stays close, because there are so many activities available within the village. For many, it means a walkable lifestyle. There are two beaches, for starters. There's a harbor filled with yachts and smaller boats. There's a golf club with swimming and tennis, and commanding views over Long Island Sound. There's a historic library/community center, informal bars and a couple of special-occasion restaurants, a pharmacy where customers are known by name, an art gallery, and so on. There's a club for kids' team sports. Education options include the highly-rated Fairfield public schools; Greens' Farm Academy, Fairfield Country Day School and Fairfield Prep among private options. Also in Southport Village is Eagle Hill School, for children with learning disabilities. The focus of this school, which draws students from the entire area, is to support children so they can rejoin mainstream academics after their Eagle Hill experience. The heart of Southport Village, with its exquisite historic architecture, is protected by a historic association, so its charm will remain unchanged. Its way of life, with enduring friendships enriched by outdoor fun, is even more special. "
