The charming town of Redding is located in Fairfield County, Connecticut, just 62 miles southwest of the state capital of Hartford. With a gorgeous country setting and historic New England atmosphere, Redding is a relaxing retreat away from the nearby bustling urban centers of Stamford, Hartford, New York City, and White Plains, NY. And yet commuting to these locations from Redding is easy and frustration-free with the town’s connections to many major routes, such as Route 7, I-84, I-684, and I-95, as well as its access to the Metro-North Railway train system both in Redding and Ridgefield. Redding offers a nourishing environment in which to raise a family; the town boasts three quality schools—Redding Elementary School, John Read Middle School, and Joel Barlow High School—and is close to several institutions of higher learning, such as Western Connecticut State University, Fairfield University, University of Connecticut at Stamford, and Yale. The town is well-known throughout the region for its many parks, open spaces, nature preserves, and ponds, as well as hiking and riding trails that allow Redding residents to fully enjoy the beauty of their hometown. Highstead Arboretum, Devil’s Den Preserve, Putnam Memorial State Park, and Huntington State Park are all favorites of Redding outdoor enthusiasts. Golf in Redding is a popular pastime as well; many Redding residents take advantage of the challenging 18-hole, par 71 golf course located at the Redding Country Club.
