Fairview Avenue station on the BNSF line sits in the middle of a dense residential grid in Downers Grove, giving residents a direct 35-minute ride to Chicago Union Station on weekday expresses. The station is surrounded by sidewalks and bike lanes that connect to downtown Downers Grove’s shops and restaurants within a ten-minute walk, and several large office parks along Butterfield Road are reachable by a short drive or a single bus transfer. Parking is limited at the station, so most nearby households rely on walking or biking for daily trips rather than driving to the platform.
Fairview Avenue currently has 32 single family homes for sale, 1 townhouse for sale, 7 condos for sale, and 3 lots for sale. For anyone looking for a brand new home, there are 4 new construction homes for sale that are within a mile.
