I've lived in Fairview for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Strong job market in several industries
- The school system scene is hit or miss

The downsides:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for singles. Good luck with whatever you decide..

We moved here with our family and the quality of life is solid. Schools in Maple Ridge area are tough. Kids love it here.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.

I've been here 6 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is outdoor recreation. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the safety is legit. And if you're into photography, this place is decent.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Oak Park side vs the South side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Feel free to reach out with questions..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want cultural scene, then yeah this place is great. But if safety matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
