Large public parks, organized subdivisions and popular restaurants define Long Hill, a relaxed neighborhood in Trumbull. The town used to be known as a bedroom community for those commuting to New York City or around Fairfield County, but it has gained more attention since 2019. "I used to say, 'Trumbull: a great place to sleep,'" says Fredda Takacs, a longtime Trumbull resident and real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Realty. "Now, great restaurants have come into the area, and though people will complain about the tax rates going up, the town has done a nice job of investing in its infrastructure." Public parks with pickleball courts and well-maintained walking trails offer chances to get outside, and the community frequently meets on the Town Hall Green for seasonal festivities, like Easter egg hunts and holiday tree lightings. Children are zoned to the A-rated Trumbull school district, which has a variety of programs to keep students engaged. Long Hill's CAP Index crime score of 1 out of 10 is the lowest possible score, and well below the national average of 4.

Cape Cods, Colonial Revivals and townhouses in Long Hill
Long Hill’s residential streets are organized, quiet and lined with classic New England homes. “Both the lots and the homes in Long Hill than they are in other areas of Trumbull, so it’s a little cheaper,” Takacs says. Cape Cods, ranch-style houses and Colonial Revivals built in the mid-to-late 1900s sit beneath tall trees, with shrubbery and neat landscaping decorating their front lawns. Most of these houses are priced between $400,000 and $700,000, though spacious Colonial Revivals can cost as much as $1 million. Long Hill also has a few subdivisions of condos and townhouses that were added in the late 20th and early 21st centuries and feature colonial-inspired architecture and neutral vinyl siding. Developments like Trumbull Town Commons have community amenities like in-ground pools. Units in these areas are usually priced between $300,000 and $500,000.

Great Oak Park in Long Hill is a dense park perfect for hiking and exploring.
Walking trails, BMX courses and sports courts at Indian Ledge Park
In the northern section of Long Hill sits Parlor Rock Park. It’s currently a forested hiking area with rocky outcroppings located between Old Mine Park and Indian Ledge Park, but in the 1800s, it was the site of one of the country’s first amusement parks, built by the Housatonic Railroad Co. to encourage rail travel. Residents may explore the wooded landscape now, but Indian Ledge Park is more popular. The Housatonic Rail Trail travels through the park, encouraging walking or biking. More adventurous bikers fly over the bumpy terrain at the park’s BMX track. Kids can practice baseball and soccer on the dedicated fields or run around the playground, and residents can socialize as their pets enjoy the dog park.

Seasonal festivals on the Trumbull Town Green
Trumbull's largest event, Trumbull Day, is held in late June near Hillcrest Middle School. The festival includes food, carnival rides and games, a main stage with local bands, and fireworks. The Trumbull Town Green, a landscaped lawn with a gazebo near the town hall, is in Long Hill. Here, the community frequently congregates for seasonal events. In the spring, kids collect pastel eggs during the town’s Easter egg hunt. There’s also a free summer concert series where neighbors bring lawn chairs and picnic blankets to listen to live music. Local artists display and sell their work at the arts festival in September, and in October, residents paint pumpkins, play lawn games and listen to music during the fall festival. Early December brings a holiday tree lighting.
