A retirement haven on the Cumberland Plateau
Spanning well over 10,000 acres, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee, is a master-planned community nestled in the Cumberland Plateau. Here, golfers enjoy views of the misty hills as they play, while hikers often cross paths with roaming wildlife during adventures through the surrounding forest. Although it’s not age-restricted, Fairfield Glade mostly brings in retirees looking for a haven away from the big cities. Once a regional draw, residents now hail from places as far as the West Coast.
“It’s a thriving community of retired people and a beautiful place to live,” says Jack Smith, the assistant to the pastor at the Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church. “We picked it because it was beautiful and it had golf. But when we moved here, we found out the real beauty is the people who live here.”
Fairfield Glade is a residential community close to lots of outdoor recreation.
Several golf courses are located in Fairfield Glade.

With many showing modern Traditional styles, homes here exist along lakefronts, amid dense woodlands or on spots overlooking the mountains. “There’s probably something that will suit just about any buyer here, which is why I think we’ve been growing as fast as we have,” says Mary Jo Page, the Fairfield Glade Community Club’s director of marketing and events.
The community does levy fees for needs like utilities and maintenance. Due to the many visitors, timeshares are also not uncommon here.
Depending on size, single-family homes mainly cost between $250,000 and $700,000. The community’s median price of approximately $370,000 is just over $40,000 below the national median.

Fairfield Glade also borders the Catoosa Wildlife Management Area, a nearly 100,000-acre site with forests, rocky outcrops, creeks and oak savanna. The site’s natural attractions make it popular among sportsmen, hikers, watersports enthusiasts and off-roaders. The wildlife includes numerous bird species, deer and wild turkey.

The 2020 U.S. Census count provides the Fairfield Glade’s latest population figures. The community’s population of roughly 9,100 shows an increase of approximately 30% since the 2010 count.
In addition to serving as a route for industries, Interstate 40 goes to a few of Tennessee’s major metropolitan areas. Fairfield Glade, respectively, lies 73 miles and 120 miles from Knoxville and Nashville. The McGhee Tyson Airport south of Knoxville provides the nearest hub for commercial flights.
Important to know
Seasons here notably include warm, humid summers. However, Fairfield Glade is also part of East Tennessee, where snowfall is not uncommon in certain parts. This part of Cumberland County averages about 14 inches of snow annually, about 10 more than both Nashville and Knoxville, according to National Weather Service data.
Although Fairfield Glade isn’t a municipality, it does have an accredited police department. The FBI doesn’t keep crime data specific to the community, but the federal agency shows Cumberland County’s crime rates are several times lower than Tennessee’s. The latest FBI stats also show that crime in the county has fallen by nearly 50% since 2018.
