I've lived in Fairview for about 9 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Austin, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Four distinct seasons
- The weather scene is better than expected

The downsides:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Dating scene is rough

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for couples. No regrets on my end..
