Fairland Homes for Sale

Fairland, a residential neighborhood in Roanoke, is just across Interstate 581 from Valley View Mall, a bustling shopping hub with over 80 stores, including Belk, Macy’s and JCPenney. The area around the mall features big-box stores like Walmart and Target, as well as a broad selection of chain restaurants. Despite the heavy traffic in the commercial zones, Fairland residents live on quieter residential streets. The neighborhood is characterized by small midcentury homes, including Cape Cods, Minimal Traditional and ranch-style houses. After the Westwind apartment complex was added in the 1980s, Fairland became a more renter-friendly neighborhood. Two city parks, Villa Heights Park and McCadden Park, are within a mile, offering recreational options such as basketball courts, playgrounds and walking paths. The Lick Run Greenway, accessible from the Best Buy parking lot near the mall, offers a 4-mile paved trail that leads to downtown Roanoke. The Roanoke Country Club, less than 2 miles away, features 27 holes of golf, tennis courts and a heated pool. Public schools in the area, including Round Hill Elementary, James Breckinridge Middle and William Fleming High, receive average ratings. The neighborhood is close to major roadways like Interstate 581 and Hershberger Road, which makes it easy to get around but can lead to traffic congestion. Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport is nearby to provide flights to major cities, but residents sometimes contend with airplane noise. The Valley Metro bus service stops in Fairland to shuttle passengers to the mall and downtown Roanoke.
