Fairfield is a compact, affordable hub between the Bay Area and Sacramento with a relaxed suburban feel ideal for multi-week stays—think parks, waterfront access around Suisun Marsh, local breweries and restaurants, and enough outdoor and cultural options to keep you entertained without the expense or bustle of a big city.
Big destinations are easily within reach: San Francisco (~45 miles) and Sacramento (~55 miles) for major museums, dining and airports, plus nearby Napa (~20 miles) for wine-country weekends—so weekdays can be low-key while weekends offer plenty to do.
