Fairwood is a Laid-Back Community 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) I've been living in Fairwood for 8 years and have raised my three kids in this small town that has very friendly people and a great culture of work and family life enjoyment. The community is very laid back and has a small town charm, but also has all the shops, restaurants, and ...Read More amenities necessary to truly enjoy life to the fullest. Also, if you need a fast pace weekend or getaway Seattle is not too far away.


The best areas in Fairwood is around the Maple Heights-Lake area where you will find some of the nicer developments as far as housing and also you're very close to a lot of amenities for kids to enjoy such as park recreational centers and other venues that cater to families.
