Fairview Visiting & Lodging
Fairview is best approached as a close-in neighborhood destination rather than a conventional tourism town. Its appeal comes from international dining, small municipal parks, local monuments, community events, the public library's local-history resources and exceptionally convenient access to surrounding Bergen and Hudson County destinations.
A Fairview stop can easily be combined with Cliffside Park, Edgewater, Fort Lee, Ridgefield or North Bergen.
