Quest for the Best: Fairview Edition
Neighbourhood Profile
Fairview has long since been a popular place to reside for young families, professionals and older couples that have downsized and want to be closer to all the action. With three bridges to the downtown core (Granville, Burrard and Cambie street bridges) it is hard to find a place with better access to downtown without actually living downtown.
Fairview tends to offer more parks and green space then its downtown counterpart. The area is world renowned for its Granville Island Market. Granville Islands strong artistic influence is felt by tourists and residents alike. With a bustling farmers market and fresh fish at the docks you will not go hungry here. The artistic influence of the area goes beyond food and crafts as strong interior design hub is being established in the area.. With Businesses such as Kelly Deck Design, Klondike contracting, Casa home décor and with talks of revamp home staging setting up in the area the interior design world is alive and well in Fairview.

Great value you to be had in this second floor Fairview condo. Your dollar goes even further here as this unit is priced $30,000 lower than the last comparable sale in the building. The only thing holding this unit out of the top spot for this week is that fact that it is located on the second floor and thereby resulting in a lack luster view. However I would not let that deter you from considering this home as it does have a lot to offer at an extremely competitive price point Overall it's a good building in a good location and a great buy.
