Fairlawn fronts a scenic bend of the New River, with quick connections to Radford across the bridge and regional employers in Blacksburg and Christiansburg. Big-university energy is minutes away—arts, lectures, and Division I games at Radford University—while daily errands stay simple. Within Pulaski County, you’ll find established streets, golf-course views, and new builds framed by mountain backdrops.
Outdoorsy households gravitate to the Pete Dye River Course of Virginia Tech, a celebrated layout tracing the riverbank. Families frequent riverside paths at Bisset Park, sandy swimming and boating at Claytor Lake State Park, and rail-trail mileage along New River Trail State Park. Local cafes and seasonal festivals in Radford balance Fairlawn’s quieter streets.
Schools fall under Pulaski County Public Schools, with Riverlawn Elementary serving many neighborhood students; older grades head to county middle and high schools, while dual-enrollment and workforce programs are close by at New River Community College. Straightforward routes on Route 11 and US‑460 make commutes easy, and housing options span modest ranches to river-view homes. Whether buying or selling, Agent Pronto can connect you with a skilled local agent in Fairlawn.
