Fairview offers yard space and lower costs than NYC, 25 miles away
Just 3 miles west of White Plains, which is the seat of Westchester County, Fairview is a little hamlet known for its convenience and value. “What drives people to move there is the proximity to New York City, which is about 40 to 45 minutes away with the Metro North train,” says Valon Nikci, the president and principal broker of Link NY Realty. He’s sold homes in the area for 16 years, 14 of which he’s owned Link NY Realty. “And people love the outdoor spaces and also they get more for their buck.” Compared to lower Westchester, Nikci says, homes in Fairview tend to be a little bigger, offer more yard space and have a lower cost per square foot. Its proximity to New York City, 25 miles away, and White Plains are major pluses for many, but the major shopping center that Fairview is curled around offers essentials even closer to home.
Bigger homes and yards than in lower Westchester
Fairview’s residential streets lack sidewalks, so the small grass lawns of its colonials, Cape Cods, new traditionals and occasional American Foursquares go right up to the road. These homes offer a change for those moving from New York City, Nikci says, as homebuyers “get a bigger space, each child gets their own room, they get an office space and on top of that they get a large backyard where the kids can go and play.” Yards usually start at about a tenth of an acre, but they can be a little bigger than that. Fixer-uppers that need major updates can start in the low $500,000s, but most homes start closer to $650,000. Newly built homes can climb to about $925,000.
Larger home in Fairview feature new traditional styling and are seated in private communities.
Larger Colonial homes feature creative touches to enhance curb appeal.

Fairview’s shops and restaurants are stretched along Tarrytown Road, like those in Crossroads Shopping Center. The shopping center has a GameStop, HomeGoods and PetSmart.

It’s an old-school restaurant right down to payment requirements — cash only. There are also a few popular chain restaurants in Fairview, including Duck Donuts, Dave’s Chicken and Panera Bread.

Farmers market from July to November
Greenburgh Farmers Market is held in Fairview every Saturday from July through November. First opening in 2022, the market is relatively new and on the smaller end, but still offers a wide variety of fresh produce, bread and desserts, and Nikci says locals love it.
Occasional hurricanes and a low CAP Index crime score
Just like the rest of New York, hurricanes or tropical storms occasionally pass over Fairview. These storms don’t arrive every year, though, and Fairview being inland helps cushion it a little from these storms when they do hit. The hamlet’s CAP Index crime score is 3 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.
