Characteristics

Transportation

Newfield is very car friendly. It is very easy to park. However, the public transit service in this area is not very frequent. Thankfully, there is the Talmadge Hill on the New Canaan. There are a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far from most houses. Getting around as a pedestrian in this area is not very common, despite the fact that running daily errands is easy without a car. Commuting by bicycle is also difficult in Newfield since there are a fair number of slopes, and there are few bike lanes.

Services

It is a rather short trip to get to primary schools from most homes for sale in this part of the city. However, high schools are not particularly abundant and therefore tend to require a long pedestrian trip to get to. Along with public schools, there are private elementary and secondary schools. With regards to eating, house buyers in Newfield often have to use a car to purchase their groceries. Nevertheless, getting to the nearest pharmacy and thus some staple foods is generally convenient. Newfield is a good place in which to eat out, for example along High Ridge Road, and there are also a few cafes in this part of the city.
