There's also a lot of really good, innovative development. If you had to generalize Fairfield, you would say that everything West of I-80 (Green Valley all the way to Vacaville) is GOOD.
Houses range in value from anywhere between roughly 189k - 22 million with more than a handful of homes on the market over 1 million.
Bransford Ct is located on the other side of I-80, which is what most of Fairfield is. Its neighborhoods are typically family-oriented and has a large range. Each neighborhood is
a case-by-case basis.The further you go past Pennsylvania, the spottier it will get in parts but it really just depends. E. Tabor is the most notorious street in Fairfield. When you're out past Texas and E. Tabor and continuing on E. Tabor, you'll find a lot of lower-income families and a lot of apartments. There are areas near Armijo High School off of Texas street past downtown that are on the shady side, and there are some apartments off of Pennsylvania before downtown that aren't very good. Fairfield doesn't really try to impress others, if you ask me. I think people think it's rougher than it really is.
| | Depending on what part of town you are in, there can be some shady characters walking around but everyone looks and seems to be doing there own thing. With an Air Force Base located just out of town there are a lot of Military families living within the city. This does cause a lot of transients within the city of varied ethnicity. Most people there are nice, pleasant, and willing to give you assistance. On the side of(I-80 north) across from the largest area of Fairfield is where you would find the biggest diversity of races and people whom rent instead of own their own homes. This area is mostly monthly rentals and apartments as compared to the other side (south of I-80) which is mostly family owned homes. |

Just what you would expect in any average town driven by tourism. Plenty of diversity for any kind of eaters. The best restaurants are available by your own taste in foods, but all are available. | | There are 20 High Schools, 24 Middle Schools, and 33 Elementary Schools in the area. All of which have below average ratings due to the number of students in each classroom. They are in desperate need of more schools with the community. | | Being an Air Force town, there are several opportunities for single people, especially if you like persons in the military. There are of course your normal number of bars and clubs, but your best bet for companionship is the military personnel if you are looking for something serious. |
| Noise | | town comparison vs. | | Best hospital | | Tourist attractions |
| The only unusual noises in the area are caused by the planes taking off and landing at Travis A.F.B. This is one of the larger Bases in northern California. Most of the other noises are caused by the large amount of freeway traffic going through the area. | | Fairfield has a little bit different feeling than the other towns in the immediate area due to the presence of Travis A.F.B. It gives it a feeling of routine and order as compared to some of the neighboring towns. Vacaville, California has almost the same feel as Fairfield, but without the military presence around you. Fairfield is one of the larger townships in the area due to the Air Force Base. Stuck in between Sacramento and San Francisco, it is a major stopping point for tourists visiting the area. Being right on the I-80 makes it a great overnight stopping spot. | | The North Bay Medical facility is the highest ranked medical facility in the area providing 106 beds and the highest rating of hospitals in the area by the American Hospital Association. | | There are several attractions to see in Fairfield ranging from a tour of a Budwieser Bottling facility, to water parks and family attractions such as Grizzly Island which is a family orientated which offers seasonal attractions for the entire family. |
| General comments | | | | | | |
| All in all, Fairfield is a nice town that is primarily a town populated by Air Force personnel whom are serving at Travis A.F.B. The rest of the town is filled with diversity and ethnic culture. With San Francisco only a half an hour away, you do get a lot of the overnight tourists on their way home, which along with the service personnel provide most of the commerce for this "quaint" little town. I have been there several times, and it has always left a good impression on me. After all, I was born at Travis A.F.B., and lived there until I was around 3 when my father retired from the military. | | | | | | |
