Fairlawn

The City of Fairlawn, Ohio. In 1958, Fairlawn Village became incorporated. By 1970, Fairlawn Village's population increased enough to become incorporated into the City of Fairlawn and development businesses were crucial in drawing families to the area. Today, Fairlawn's "life force" continues to revolve around these same businesses rather than the town square or other landmarks usually concentrated in the heart of the city.

With its excellent school system, the Copley-Fairlawn School District was rated by the Ohio Department of Education as Excellent.

Cleveland is 35 minutes north and downtown Akron, OH is a 10-minute drive to the east. In addition, the Ohio Turnpike (I-80) is just minutes away and local airports (Cleveland and Akron-Canton) are within easy reach.

Approximately 35,000 visitors come to Fairlawn on a daily basis. Several new home communities insure that residential growth in Fairlawn will continue at a rapid pace
