    Fayetteville is a very nice suburban community. There are good schools (both public and private) and many opportunities for children and young adults in regards to extracurricular activities...sports, theater, arts, etc.
    The best town to live in New York State. School district is beyond amazing. Beautiful houses & apartments. Crime rate is almost obsolete. Has an old fashion feel to it...friendly neighbors. Lots of little shops.... local businesses are always important to support. Beautiful parks and lakes... to jog & take your children to play. It’s just a great neighborhood to grow up or live in.
