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.

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.
