Key Words:

Hillside Retreat, Don Castro Recreation, Rural-Suburban Blend

Fairview is a semi-rural enclave perched in the hills east of Hayward, offering a relaxed pace of life alongside sweeping views of the East Bay. Many properties here enjoy larger lots and a sense of privacy, surrounded by rolling terrain and open space. The neighborhood sits close to Don Castro Regional Recreation Area, where residents can fish, hike, and picnic amid scenic ponds and forested trails. This proximity to nature, along with local spots like the Sulphur Creek Nature Center, draws outdoor enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in the area’s natural beauty. Housing in Fairview spans modest single-family homes to custom hillside retreats, reflecting its blend of rural atmosphere and suburban comforts. Being just minutes from Castro Valley and downtown Hayward, the neighborhood also grants convenient access to shopping, dining, and BART stations. Fairview’s emphasis on safety and community engagement, paired with its expansive views, makes it a popular choice for families and those who appreciate the balance of quiet living and easy city connections.
