Fifteen miles east of Portland, Fairview is a small city on the bank of the Columbia River. The community is almost entirely residential, with a few small coffee shops and restaurants scattered among the suburban neighborhoods and larger shopping centers on the east side of town. Most residents live within walking distance of a park, pond, or lake, with ample opportunities to get outdoors and enjoy the region’s lush natural surroundings.
Within just minutes of both Downtown Portland and the Cascade Mountains, you can easily hop into the city for work or a night out, or go off the grid for a weekend in the forests surrounding Mount Hood.
