About Fairview
Tucked into the rolling countryside of northern Union County, Fairview offers a peaceful, rural escape about 25 miles southeast of Charlotte. With roughly 3,500 residents, the town is known for its quiet country roads, open pastures, and scenic waterways along Crooked Creek and the Rocky River. Farming in the area dates back to the late 1700s, and the community incorporated in 2002 to protect its relaxed, open atmosphere. It is a welcoming spot where large lots and wooded properties are still the standard.
Families here are zoned for Union County Public Schools, anchored locally by Fairview Elementary right in town. Commuters and weekend travelers benefit from direct routes along N.C. 218 and U.S. 601, which connect smoothly to Charlotte, Monroe, and Concord. Residents enjoy the privacy and calm of country living while staying within an easy drive of regional shopping, dining, and parks.
