Lush trees envelope Brookfield’s neighborhoods, while the two largest lakes in Connecticut border the town on either side—Candlewood Lake to the west and Lake Lillinonah to the east.
The lakes provide abundant opportunities for water recreation in addition to the Still and Housatonic Rivers, which both flow through Brookfield. There are also plenty of wooded hiking trails, recreational facilities, and open space to explore in Brookfield.
Brookfield is home to an active, tight-knit community, which is bonded over a bevy of clubs, organizations, and special events. Route 202 boasts much of Brookfield’s commercial activity, with a wide variety of stores and restaurants. Danbury sits just eight miles south of Brookfield, providing a slew of additional amenities to the community. New York City is just a 90-minute drive away from Brookfield as well.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
