Fairfax Real Estate
Fairfax is a small community of roughly 2,800 residents located just southeast of Cedar Rapids. The town offers affordable housing, low taxes, and a quiet residential setting while keeping residents within a short commute of Cedar Rapids employment and amenities.
Fairfax sits along the corridor between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, giving residents access to employers in both metro areas. The growing southwest Cedar Rapids industrial area, including the Big Cedar Industrial Center where Google and QTS data centers are under construction, is a short drive west. Cedar Rapids' major employers in manufacturing, healthcare, and technology are all within reasonable commuting range.
Fairfax is served by the College Community School District, which includes Prairie High School. This makes Fairfax attractive to buyers who value strong public schools without paying higher home prices found in some other parts of the district.
