Fairstead is a predominantly residential ward on the eastern edge of King's Lynn in West Norfolk, Norfolk. Largely developed in the mid 20th century with a mix of council and private housing, it centres on local shops, a community centre and several small parks, giving it a suburban, family‑orientated feel.
Close to King's Lynn town centre and its historic port, the area benefits from good road and bus links and nearby light industrial and commercial zones that provide local employment. The ward is socially mixed and has an active community scene, with occasional regeneration projects aimed at improving housing and amenities, and it sits within easy reach of the Wash and the Norfolk coast for countryside and seaside access.
