About Fairview
Tucked along the bluffs of the Big Sioux River right on the Iowa border, Fairview is about as quiet as South Dakota living gets. Home to only a few dozen residents, this tiny community is defined by rolling valley views, wide-open skies, and peaceful country roads. Every June, the area comes alive when the annual Big Sioux Bluffs Trail Ride brings riders through the scenic river hills. If you are looking for absolute quiet and wide-open spaces, Fairview offers simple, unhurried living along the water.
