Housing
Fairview Real Estate provides the same diverse amount of options that range from: detached homes, high end condos, renovated apartment buildings, unrenovated apartment buildings, and student accommodations. Most of the buildings in this neighborhood were built in the 1980’s when zoning restrictions only allowed 3 story buildings so views are less obstructed, and the neighborhoods feel less congested and busy. There are some new ten story plus apartment buildings within the neighborhood, but there are not many.
