Prime commuter choice 7 miles from Manhattan
Many people know about the Gold Coast community of North Bergen, famous for its Braddock Park that looks onto the Hudson River – but more are catching on to neighboring Fairview. “Until recently, Fairview was Bergen County’s hidden gem,” says Derek Gomez, a real estate broker with Re/Max. Now, apparently, the secret is out. The community is 7 miles from Midtown Manhattan, making it a prime commuter choice. "Proximity to New York City has made Fairview one of the hottest towns in the area,” Gomez explains. “Three major roads run through Fairview, making for easy commutes.” Throw in a stretch of eateries along Bergen Boulevard, and Fairview quickly shapes up into a small but robust borough.
Buses are always available for residents of Fairview.
New York City is just a stones throw away from Fairview.

Colonials, Cape Cods with neat landscaping
Fairview has become an increasingly popular choice for those who want hints of a suburban lifestyle while enjoying the urban convenience of living next to New York City. “The area combines homes, condos, multi-family, and industrial buildings,” says Gomez. Housing costs in Fairview run from $160,000 for a one-bedroom condominium to about $1 million for a large single-family home with a detached garage. The average home sells for about $400,000. Colonials and Cape Cods are popular in the area, as are rowhouses and townhouses. Most single-family homes have off-street parking. Front yards are generally small, but many homeowners neatly landscape them with flower beds and planters. There are sidewalks throughout. The borough has a crime score of 3 out of 10 on the CAP Index.
Colorful single family homes can be found around Fairview.
Residents of Fairview decorate their homes with colorful flowers and personal touches.

National attention for Cliffside Park High
Students can attend Number Three School, a public elementary for kindergarten through fourth grade. The school has a C-minus rating from Niche. Lincoln School serves fifth through eighth grades and has a C-minus rating as well. Cliffside Park High School has a B rating. In 2020, students published memoirs of going through the pandemic – an effort that brought national attention.
Lincoln Elementary School's motto is "Educating Our Children for Tomorrow".
Number Three School is in Cliffside Park, New Jersey.

English Neighborhood Park
Part of Fairview’s appeal is that it has a lot of green space, relative to its overall size, which spans 91st Street to Edgewater Road. There’s a pair of large cemeteries for quiet reflections and views. The English Neighborhood Park sits on a couple acres, featuring soccer fields as well as open spaces for lounging. The park also has playground equipment and picnic tables. Columbus Park is similar in its traditional offerings, and is used for holiday events like Easter egg hunts. Braddock Park is less than a mile away. Sprawling over 150 acres, it has a view of the Manhattan skyline, miles of trails, athletic facilities and a dog run. The North Bergen Pool is a short walk from Fairview during the summer. It's a popular place with three pools, playgrounds and picnic tables.
Columbus Park has a basketball court for Fairview residents to play on.
Fairview Parks and Recreation is home to a soccer club.

Shopping and dining in Fairview
Locally owned stores mingle alongside chains and big-box stores. Small grocers specializing in cultural foods are available, like Ziyadeh Meat Market and La Chiquita Deli. But larger grocery chains are in reach, too, such as City Supermarkets and Trader Joe's. While Fairview may not have the hippest dining scene, it does offer an array of bars and restaurants with enticing menus. “These aren’t necessarily places that people from other neighborhoods will seek out, but are frequented by locals,” says Monica Cappellan, Realtor with Sotheby’s International Realty. Krause's Homemade Candies, for example, has operated in Fairview since the 1960s. Gomez says Angelo’s Pizza and Pasta is one of the best Italian restaurants in the area. The Beacon Diner’s breakfast menu features nearly 30 different styles of pancakes, including strawberry cheesecake.
There are plenty of options for restaurants serving all types of cultural foods in Fairview.

Commuting on Tonnelle Avenue
Buses are found along major corridors, like Anderson Avenue and Bergen Boulevard, providing the bulk of Fairview’s public transportation and passing local landmarks like the monumental Ascension Greek Orthodox Church. It’s a walkable community, though, and the Bergenline Station for commuter trains is 3.5 miles west. Drivers can also hop on Broad Avenue, which immediately becomes Tonnelle Avenue crossing into North Bergen – again, leading residents 3.5 miles west to the Tonnelle commuter rail station. Or, one can simply make the 10-mile drive to Manhattan in under an hour: Tonnelle Avenue leads to the famed Lincoln Tunnel. “Fairview is very strategically located,” says Cappellan. “You can walk to Braddock Park from the east end and see the Hudson River, while the north end faces the Hackensack River.”
