It is a short drive to the nearest highway, such as Autoroute Félix-Leclerc, from anywhere in this neighbourhood, and it is especially convenient to park.

Walking in Fairview is not very popular, despite the fact that carrying out daily needs is easy on foot. Commuting by bicycle is also difficult in this part of the city since the bicycling infrastructure is rather limited.

Additionally, Fairview is a good place in which to eat out, and property owners are served by approximately 10 cafes as well. House buyers benefit from a fair number of nearby clothing stores.
Character
There is a vast selection of green spaces in Fairview. To be more precise, it is easy to get to parks from the majority of locations in the neighbourhood since there are about 20 of them nearby for residents to discover. However, the tree canopy coverage for a lot of streets is fairly bad. Lastly, this part of Pointe-Claire is relatively quiet, as there are few people out and about on the streets; however those who are closer to Autoroute Félix-Leclerc or the railway line may experience more noise.
