About This Neighborhood

About Fairview Gardens

Fairview Gardens grew up around its namesake school — mid-1950s capes and ranches on walkable blocks where kids still walk to Fairview Elementary the way they have for seventy years.

That walk-to-school reality, plus downtown Mount Prospect a short stroll away, gives the neighborhood an old-fashioned completeness modern subdivisions can't replicate.
