Located about 30 minutes from San Francisco the atmosphere of Fairfax is one of an old-fashioned small town, rural feel where the orientation toward family is apparent. There is the festival every June called the Fairfax Festival where people come from all over to enjoy a parade, blue-grass music, gourmet foods and kid friendly activities. Fairfax is also known for its proximity to hiking trails and off-road bike paths (heck, Fairfax is the birthplace of the mountain bike). And then there is the food. Every Wednesday from June through September a Farmers market is held where seasonal organic produce from local farms such as nearby in Bolinas are represented. Grocery stores include the organic Good Earth Natural Foods store on the main street Sir Francis Drake Blvd.

A local movie theater. A multitude of restaurants and shops are all within an easy stroll of one another. Real Estate prices vary from fixer properties to a few special properties in the multi-million dollar range. In between are more modestly priced homes. The topography of Fairfax like a lot of other Marin locations which means hillside locations where a homes only level out outdoor space might mean a deck and/or a small level yard area. Lot sizes can be small to standard but it is not uncommon to find a home on acreage. Do not expect to find manicured lawns are not the norm here but rather a more rustic, country setting seems to be the standard. Architecturally, the houses are older ranch styles, cottages and bungalows from the early 1900Ós and more modern style homes.
