Special Features and Characteristics

If we had to sum up Fairview in one sentence, we would say, Fairview is rural life in a beautiful, scenic setting with the convenience of city access.

Rural Life - Fairview is a small town, and as is often the case with smaller towns, the population isn't large or dense enough to support much in the way of a public transportation system. In fact, there are many rural roads around Fairview, which makes walking or biking to and from work a bit difficult. This makes for a very car-oriented town: 100.00% of residents commute to work by private automobile, and people often drive out of town for work, shopping, and other activities.

City Access- Many newcomers to the Asheville area choose Fairview because of its proximity to the City, allowing them to enjoy both small-town charm with downtown perks.

School District - Cedar Cliff is located within the Buncombe County School District. There are two public schools - Cane Creek Middle School and Fairview Elementary School. AC Reynolds High School is located 5 minutes from Cedar Cliff Village.

Retirement Life

Fairview is quickly becoming a destination for those transitioning to retirement life or working part-time who may travel frequently. Its beauty and natural surroundings make it popular as well as its easy access to the Asheville Regional Airport and major highways. Traffic is generally not a problem due to its more residential than commercial profile.
