A quiet Bay Area community with some nice parks
Fairview is a bedroom community just south of Castro Valley. The area offers a quiet residential environment with convenient access to shopping, dining and, importantly, Interstate 580. It's about equidistant to the tech hubs in San Francisco and San Jose, so many residents commute. “Fairview has a very relaxed atmosphere, but it’s still close to Oakland, San Francisco and other Bay Area cities,” says local Realtor Janella Anguiano of Century 21 Real Estate Alliance. “It’s known for having more open space than Hayward, and for its beautiful views of the surrounding hills.”

Modern townhouses can also be found in a few neighborhoods around town. The median single-family home price in Fairview is just over $1 million, with midcentury homes generally selling for considerably less than their contemporary counterparts.

Swimming and Don Castro Reservoir
Fairview is home to some of the premier green spaces in the area, including the Don Castro Regional Recreation Area, which offers a large dog park and swimming at the Don Castro Reservoir. Five Canyons Open Space on the east side of Fairview and Green Belt Park to the south both offer miles of hiking trails and scenic hillside views. “The outdoor spaces are one of the big perks of living in Fairview,” says Anguiano. “A lot of residents can just walk from their house to the nearest trailhead and go for a hike.” Meanwhile, neighborhood parks like Lakeridge Park provide open green spaces, playgrounds and athletic fields. Like most of the Bay Area, the community has a relatively mild climate throughout the year, with warm summers and cool, rainy winters.

Getting around via the I-580 and the BART

It’s a 20-mile drive to Oakland and about 30 miles to San Francisco and San Jose, while Fremont is just 15 miles away. Public transportation is overseen by the Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District; however, only a small portion of the neighborhood is within easy walking distance of a bus stop. Additionally, the Bay Area Rapid Transit system has stations in nearby Hayward and Castro Valley, which makes commuting to San Francisco and Oakland easier.
