Fairview Real Estate & Housing
Fairview is a compact, high-density housing market with one- and two-family homes, multifamily properties, apartment buildings, condominium choices and a large renter population. Its location near New York City keeps transportation and housing demand closely connected.
Buyers, sellers, owners and renters should pay particular attention to property taxes, parcel-specific zoning, residential resale and rental requirements, rent-leveling rules, building permits, parking and flood/stormwater conditions.
Market guide, not live inventory: NJTGO does not publish temporary active homes or asking prices as permanent town-guide listings. Availability and prices change continuously.
2026 Fairview housing market
Fairview's small geography means monthly inventory can be thin and individual sales can move short-term market statistics sharply. Use current listings and professional advice for transaction decisions.
Housing character
Traditional detached and attached homes remain common on residential side streets throughout the borough.
Two- and multi-unit properties are an important part of Fairview's housing stock and investment market.
Apartment buildings are concentrated along several major corridors and contribute to Fairview's large renter population.
The Census reports a 33.2% owner-occupied housing rate for 2020–2024, making rental rules especially relevant locally.
The Census reports $511,400 as the median value of owner-occupied housing units for 2020–2024.
The Census reports $1,694 for 2020–2024; current market asking rents can differ materially.
Property taxes & assessment
Fairview's Tax Assessor maintains property assessment, tax-map and appeal resources. Owners should confirm assessed value, current tax charges and applicable exemptions directly with official municipal records.
Zoning, planning & building
The Borough posted an updated zoning map in May 2026. Always verify the zoning district for a specific parcel before relying on permitted-use assumptions.
The board administers the municipal land-use framework and reviews applications under New Jersey land-use law.
Construction, plumbing, electrical, fire and zoning applications are available through the Borough Building Department.
Fairview's master planning has long emphasized neighborhood commercial redevelopment, adaptive reuse and transportation-oriented opportunities.
Rentals & rent leveling
Fairview has a municipal rent-leveling framework. Landlords and tenants should review the current ordinance and required registration/rent-increase forms before relying on informal summaries.
The Borough publishes landlord registration and rent-increase forms through its Rent Leveling Board resources.
The Building Department maintains a current residential rental packet for municipal requirements.
Local rent-leveling provisions can affect covered units; exemptions and procedural requirements matter.
