A historic neighborhood
Fairview, a small community of about 1,000 homes in Haddon Township, began life as a federally funded, planned community built during World War I to house shipbuilders and their families. Inspired by the 20th-century garden city movement, this 225-acre Camden County village is encircled almost entirely by Newton Creek, with blocks of homes looped around the town’s central park. The little village was laid out to facilitate walkability and easy access to shops, schools and parks. “People appreciate the area for its convenience to downtown Philadelphia and the easy access to highways and the New Jersey interior,” says Keith Greaves, a Realtor with REMAX Preferred – Cherry Hill, who has several decades of experience in the area.
Fairview's roots can be traced back to being a ship building town during World War I.

Federal-style homes
Fairview’s unique design is implemented by a mix of Federal-style homes, many of which are on streets named after famous naval vessels, such as the USS Alabama and USS Wasp. The neighborhood’s housing consists of row houses and twins throughout the village, along with occasional single-family houses. Because this community is designated as a historic area, there are rules limiting what can be done to alter the homes. “However, many of the homes here have been renovated,” says Greaves, “There are limits on what can be done with the home’s façade, but the interiors can be completely updated.” The mainly all red-brick homes vary in size. Greaves says the neighborhood’s biggest appeal, especially for first-time buyers, are the reasonable home prices. Smaller row houses in need of repairs can be purchased for about $75,000, while move-in ready homes with 1,100 square feet or more of living space range from $135,000 to about $185,000. A single-family home can be purchased for around $200,000.
Some of the row house ends have yard space despite sharing a wall.
Row houses in Fairview tend to have a small front and back yard.
