Hey everyone, We're a young couple and Crime rate is something to consider -Greenfield sits at 92.1 per 100K. Homes are going for about $205,800 on average. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

I've lived in Fairview for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Atlanta, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- The cost of living scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Limited high-paying job options
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for retirees. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Used to live on the Maple Ridge side, now on the Meadowbrook side. Completely different vibe. I love the pace of life here.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.
I've been here 12 years and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The thing nobody mentions is weather. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cost of living is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Fairview side vs the Midtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Hope this helps!.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is housing market. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Worth doing your research before committing.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.
I've been here 12 years and I have mixed feelings honestly. The thing nobody mentions is nightlife. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cultural scene is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is improving.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Old Town side vs the Cedar Grove side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
