Fairview, Williamson County, Middle Tennessee

About Fairview

Fairview is a Williamson County city on the west side of Greater Nashville — the Hwy 100 corridor town that sits between Cool Springs / Franklin and the Dickson County line, with Bowie Nature Park as the signature amenity and a growing cluster of national-builder subdivisions around City Center / Hopgood. When you cut through the noise, three facts matter more than any brochure headline: (1) the City of Fairview corporate limits are not the same as ZIP 37062, (2) ZIP 37062 covers the city plus surrounding western Williamson rural / unincorporated land — never assign schools or taxes by ZIP alone, and (3) Williamson County GNAR Res ~$1.1M is county backdrop only — never the City of Fairview sold median.

This is Fairview, Tennessee (Williamson) — Census place FIPS 4725440 — not Fairview in any other state. Population estimate Jul 1, 2025: 10,877 (+15.9% vs 2020 estimates base 9,385; Census 2020 9,357; Census 2010 7,720). Land area 17.34 sq mi (2020); pop/sq mi 2020 539.7. https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/fairviewcitytennessee/PST045225 · City of Fairview: https://www.fairview-tn.org/

Research status: fairview-city/ pack is TRULY complete (EVIDENCE-BRIEF + SCHOOLS, EMPLOYERS, RETAIL-MEDICAL, RECREATION, HISTORIC-FAMOUS, BUILDERS_NEW_CONSTRUCTION, NOTABLE_PEOPLE, MAP_PINS + page-sections.json, 2026-09-11). SECTION_ORDER H2s render from the pack payload; this MD keeps the west-Williamson / Hwy 100 / Bowie Nature Park / ZIP-spill framing.

CRITICAL — Williamson west-side city with ZIP honesty. This same city guide is the source for both Fairview and the Williamson twin path. County context: Williamson County area guide. Neighbor seats and peers: Franklin · Brentwood · Dickson County (western edge / corridor framing — Fairview ≠ Dickson city). Do not publish Williamson County GNAR Res ~$1.1M as the City of Fairview median.

Corridors: Hwy 100 / Fairview Boulevard (historic downtown + City Center) · City Center Way / Chester Rd / Hopgood Rd (Publix / Walmart / City Hall) · Bowie Lake Rd (Bowie Nature Park) · Hwy 96 interchange · regional links toward I-40 / I-840 / Cool Springs / Dickson. ACS mean commute 37.1 min — a local average, not a timed downtown-Nashville or Cool Springs ETA.

Commute & daily geography

Highway 100 and Highway 96 are primary connectors toward Bellevue/Davidson and toward Franklin. Buyers trading distance for space should time the drive to their workplace.

Housing notes

You will see a mix of subdivision homes and larger or more wooded parcels than the denser I-65 cities. Septic or well service can appear on some edge parcels — verify utilities.

Commute corridors

Hwy 100 / Fairview Boulevard (historic downtown + City Center) · City Center Way / Chester Rd / Hopgood Rd · Bowie Lake Rd (park) · Hwy 96 interchange · regional links toward I-40 / I-840 / Cool Springs / Franklin / Brentwood / Dickson County western edge. ACS mean commute 37.1 min — a local average, not a fixed downtown Nashville ETA. Drive peak Hwy 100 toward Cool Springs / Franklin / Nashville at your actual work hours before you commit. A 37062 mailing does not tell you whether the house is inside city limits. Fairview ≠ Dickson city.

Buy / sell — short diligence

  • City limits vs ZIP first: City of Fairview corporate limits ≠ ZIP 37062. ZIP 37062 = city + surrounding western Williamson rural / unincorporated — never assign schools or taxes by ZIP alone.
  • Schools: WCS for City addresses (Fairview High GS 8/10; Fairview Middle 8/10; Fairview ES 7/10; Westwood ES 7/10). Zone tools, never ZIP. Private in-city campus = GAP; nearest named private often Grace Christian (Franklin).
  • Market grain: Realtor city sold $624,950 (Aug 2026) is the PRIMARY city number; Redfin 3-mo ~$537,644 is a labeled CONFLICT; ZIP agent-blog $582,995 is SECONDARY ZIP spill; ACS $390,200 ≠ sale; GNAR Williamson Res (~$1.1M) is county backdrop only — never City sold.
  • Bowie Nature Park is the signature amenity — trails / Nature Center / conservation easement FACTS from bowiepark.org; call before riding if wet.
  • HOA/CC&Rs on masterplans (Bowie Meadows, Orrinshire, Brush Creek, and any other PUD stock) and rental caps if any.
  • Flood / drainage notes on low-ground / lake-adjacent parcels — verify per address.
  • New-construction vs resale: builder incentives and lot premiums change; confirm warranty; never trust builder school auto-suggests without parcel verify (especially 37062 mailing outside city).
  • City vs county services; Williamson Trustee tax bill for City parcels; unincorporated western Williamson on some 37062 mailings.
  • Listing geography: 37062 dominates portals but blends city + rural — prefer city portal framing + assessor / city GIS.
  • Retail everyday: Publix + Walmart + Tractor Supply in city; Target / Costco / Sam’s / Starbucks-count in city = GAP; nearest Costco Brentwood; nearest Target/Sam’s Franklin.
  • Hospital: no in-city acute flagship this pass — Williamson Medical Center is Franklin.
  • Cross-shop Franklin · Brentwood · Williamson County · Dickson County for the western-edge corridor — Fairview ≠ Dickson city; do not confuse with Fairview other states.

Whether you’re comparing a Bowie Meadows new-build to a pre-2000 Hwy 100 resale, shopping Orrinshire against a Brush Creek lot, or weighing a Cool Springs commute against west-side acreage near the Dickson edge — let’s walk through the address-level details. I’ll keep watching these city vs ZIP vs county numbers so you don’t mix them.
