Several hundred homes between I-35W and Penn, with five parks close by. Fairwood South is charming, central and green.
Fairwood South is in western Richfield, between 68th and 70th Streets from I-35W to Penn Avenue.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Fairwood Park, Monroe Field, Lyndale Field, Richfield Lake Park and Wood Lake Nature Center’s 151 acres are all close. Richfield Hub, Southdale Square, Southdale Center and Galleria Edina have shopping and dining. See Richfield parks and trails and community life.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Fairwood South is served by Richfield Public Schools (ISD 280). Nearby schools include Richfield Middle School, Sheridan Hills Elementary, Richfield STEM School and Richfield High School. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- Older homes: In an established neighborhood, ask about the age of the roof, windows, electrical and sewer line, and budget for updates where needed.
- Condition: Roof, windows, mechanicals and drainage tell you more about a home’s next ten years than the paint color does. Plan a professional inspection.
