Best Reasons to Consider Fairfield Glade: Named by Rand McNally as fourth best place to retire in the U.S. Ideally located in the central Cumberland Plateau (elev. 2,000 ft.). As a result, the mild four season climate tends to be less humid and, in the summers, a bit cooler than most other parts of the Southeast. A big benefit to Tennessee in general is that there is no State Income Tax. Crossville, TN, home to Fairfield Glade, is known as the Golf Capital of Tennessee. Within Fairfield Glade, alone, there are five world class golf courses, including the award-winning Stonehenge, the top-rated public course in the State. There is abundant recreational opportunity inside and outside the community including 11 on site lakes combined with some very picturesque mountain views.
