Fairfield is one of the hottest neighbourhoods in Victoria. Residents enjoy the most green space and tree canopy in the city. Quaint residential streets, stunning waterfront pathways, and hip and trendy shops and restaurants.
The population of Fairfield currently stands at over 18,000. Today’s Fairfield exemplifies the development of ‘suburban’ Victoria and the creation of aspects of a classic British colony. It also reflects trade patterns in its American west coast architectural styles in its key period of development. Italianate, Victorian, and Edwardian homes were the first to be constructed, while California and Craftsman bungalows followed. Post war, infill homes and Art Moderne-style apartments were followed by Ranch-style homes.
