A diverse, well organized and welcoming community overall. In the heart of New Jersey, it's full of various cultures and cuisines to be explored! The crime rate is low, and the community is tended to well, creating a beautiful environment to take a walk around in. Everywhere you go, there's bound to be a place for dining, whatever you're craving! The downtown area is gorgeous and lively, day and night, and the town is very convenient to other resources such as Route 208 and a short drive away from the Garden State Plaza. The people are loving, the workers are commendable, and there's everything to love and look forward to about Fair Lawn.
I have lived in Fair Lawn the majority of my life and have many fond memories growing up as a child here. As a more recent graduate of Fair Lawn High, I would definitely say compared to other school systems in the state I've experienced, their education system greatly excelled. I love what a quiet, quaint, family-friendly community this town is and when I go back to visit, it just feels like home. While Fair Lawn itself may be lacking in fun things to do, the surrounding neighborhoods help to make it a desirable location. Don't get me wrong though! Places like River Road Hot Bagels and Giovanni's Deli are to die for! Although I won't be returning to this neighborhood in the years to come, I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a safe and friendly environment to raise their family in.
Overall a really great town! Fair Lawn is known for being a centric town. While being very suburban, all plazas are conveniently located. These plazas contain grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurants. Fair Lawn is a commuter town therefore transportation is readily accessible such as its Radburn train station and NY transit bus stops.
