I grew up in Trumbull, my office is here, and it's where I've sold more homes than anywhere else. So when people ask what it's like to live here, I have a lot to say. Here's an overview for anyone thinking about a move to town.
Where Trumbull is
Trumbull is a town of about 23.5 square miles in Fairfield County, just north of Bridgeport. It sits between the Merritt Parkway and Route 8, which makes it an easy base for commuting toward Stamford and New York, New Haven, or the Naugatuck Valley. The nearest Metro-North stations are in Bridgeport, Stratford and Fairfield.
Parks and open space
Open space is one of the things people mention most. The Pequonnock River Valley State Park runs through town with a long trail that's popular with walkers, runners and cyclists. Twin Brooks Park, Indian Ledge Park and Beach Memorial Park offer fields, playgrounds and trails, and Tashua Knolls is the town's public golf course.
Sections of town
Trumbull is made up of several areas, each with its own feel, including Nichols, Long Hill, Trumbull Center, Booth Hill and Daniels Farm. You'll find everything from condos and smaller ranches to colonials and larger newer homes, so there's a wide range of price points across town.
Shopping and everyday errands
Westfield Trumbull is the area's main shopping center, and Trumbull Center and the Route 111 and Route 127 corridors cover most day-to-day needs, with local restaurants and small businesses throughout town.
The Trumbull housing market right now
Over the three months ending September 2026, the median sale price in Trumbull was $661K, and homes sold after a median of 42 days on the market. Homes sold for 102.6% of list price on average, and 55.3% sold above list (Redfin).
The numbers vary a lot by section of town, home style and condition, so any one home's value depends on its specifics.
