Brookfield Real Estate

Brookfield Homes for Sale & Real Estate in Connecticut

Brookfield is known for its excellent schools, reasonable taxes, outstanding recreational facilities and superb commuting routes to Westchester and lower Fairfield County. Brookfield is situated northeast of New Fairfield across the mirrored waters of Candlewood Lake. The town and its nearly 15,000 residents rest quietly along the banks of the Still River, between the cities of Danbury and New Milford. Brookfield is very close to Lake Lillinonah, providing homeowners in many of its residential neighborhoods majestic views. A majority of the homes in Brookfield were built in the 1940s as summer cottages and over the years have been remodeled and updated to provide year-round living. Ranch-style homes are also very popular. Still, the area boasts a wide array of housing styles from colonial to contemporary to countryside estates. Local residents predominately go outside these towns for work since industrial and commercial development were not concerns of the past. However, the close proximity of larger towns and more populated counties makes satisfying one’s appetite for big city excitement very easy. Real estate options in Brookfield mainly consist of single-family homes with more than 90% being owner occupied.
