What it’s like to live in Fairview
Historic character defines Fairview, where this eastern Dayton neighborhood showcases distinctive architecture from the city's prosperous industrial era. Rental options include apartments in divided larger homes with architectural details unavailable in newer construction at surprisingly affordable rates. The neighborhood sits adjacent to both downtown employment and the developing Brown Street corridor near University of Dayton, creating an ideal compromise between university proximity and residential character beyond purely student-focused areas.
