Fairview is a town in Collin County, Texas, in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex about 30 miles north of Dallas, between McKinney and Lucas. The 2020 census counted 10,372 residents. The town incorporated in 1958, largely to fend off annexation by neighboring McKinney, and that founding instinct — preserving autonomy and rural character — has defined Fairview ever since. The town's most distinctive feature is its land-use policy. Unlike most North Texas suburbs, Fairview has long restricted residential development to lots of at least one acre per home, with zoning that preserves green space and an open, semi-rural feel. The result is a landscape of estate properties, wooded acreage, and large-lot subdivisions rather than dense tract housing, even as the cities around it have grown rapidly. Fairview's schools are a major draw. The town is served by Lovejoy ISD, a small, highly regarded district that also serves Lucas and portions of Allen and Wylie, with Lovejoy High School among the state's recognized campuses. The district's compact size and strong reputation make Fairview a sought-after address for families. The town offers limited commercial development by design, so residents rely on nearby McKinney, Allen, and Fairview's own retail corridor along Stacy Road for shopping and dining. Commuters reach Plano, Richardson, and Frisco via U.S. Highway 75 and State Highways 121 and 380, with Dallas about 30 miles southwest. That combination — large lots, green space, a small school district, and central location — keeps Fairview distinct within one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas. The town's quiet, estate-like neighborhoods contrast with the denser development of adjacent McKinney and Allen. For homebuyers, Fairview combines acreage, open space, and strong schools in a location that remains close to the region's employment centers.
