A town that kept its lots big
Fairview incorporated back in 1958, and its motto is still "Keeping It Country." The town has long held to larger residential lots, many of them an acre or more, which is a big part of why it feels different from the suburbs around it.
Most of the growth is fairly recent. Fairview had about 2,600 residents in 2000 and a little over 10,000 in 2020, so a lot of the homes here were built since 2000.
Because many houses were custom built on their own lots, there's no single "Fairview kitchen." One house may have a closed-off kitchen with a formal dining room next door. Another may have a wide-open kitchen facing a big family room with a stone fireplace.
Earlier owners have often made changes too. It's common to find a kitchen that got new counters ten years ago but still has its original cabinets, or a bath where only the vanity was replaced.
