Character
Fairview Road carries retail, office or mixed-use frontage rather than the neighborhood's residential grid. It is one of the corridors that makes Barclay Downs what it is: an established residential area immediately beside a major shopping and employment district.

Living nearby
Residential streets that back onto or feed into Fairview Road trade some quiet for a great deal of convenience. Buyers sensitive to traffic noise should visit at a weekday evening peak and again on a December weekend before deciding.
