We moved here with our family and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Schools in Highland area are solid. Kids love it here.

I've lived in Fairview for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Atlanta, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The walkability scene is pretty good

The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Limited entertainment options

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for young professionals. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
