The street trees here are tall enough that you notice them first—a canopy that settles the whole five-acre subdivision into something calm and established. Fairchilds Add. sits just off E Main and Riverside, a modest collection of homes on quarter-acre lots where you're never far from a meal or a walk. There are a dozen restaurants within a mile, and the nearest coffee shop is a short drive down Riverside; Recreation Park sits about a 14-minute walk away if you want grass and space. You're served by Lowell Area Schools.
