Fairview, Anchorage

Fairview, Anchorage's sign by the neighborhood's Eastern entrance

Fairview is a neighborhood in Anchorage, Alaska just east of Downtown Anchorage and west of the Merrill Field Airport. The area is a working-class neighborhood of approximately 7,200 residents, with a median household income of approximately $55,000 and a poverty rate of approximately 21%.[1]

Fairview was once a separate city, but was annexed as a part of Anchorage in the 1950s. At the time, it was the only neighborhood in the city where African-Americans could buy property.[2][3]

The neighborhood experienced a period of decline following the construction of the Seward Highway through the neighborhood (which is known as the Ingra Street/Gambell Street north-south couplet through the area). There are long-term plans to solve this issue by depressing the highway below-grade in this area.[4][5]

Fairview also has multiple playgrounds, parks, and even a community garden.
