Fairfax Add. spans 54 acres of modest lots—each averaging just 0.12 acres—where 1920s-to-1950s-era homes in traditional styles line streets designed for a scaled, walkable neighborhood. A transit stop sits steps away, and restaurants number 42 within a mile; the nearest one is practically at your doorstep. Cheseboro Park borders the subdivision directly, with a dozen more parks within a mile's reach.
