Neighborhood of the Week: Fairmont Park
© 2010 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.
This week Neighborhood of the Week heads up north to take a look at a cozy little area that’s more or less tucked right behind Fairmont and Emoriland Boulevards: Fairmont Park.
Located just east of Broadway, Fairmont Park can be hard to distinguish from the Fairmont & Emoriland area proper. I think of it as the back or east end of the Boulevards, going back to Whittle Springs, and bounded roughly by Nickerson to the south

The homes in Fairmont Park area are mostly smaller — and slightly more affordable — than their main boulevard counterparts, but are no less charming. Like the Fairmont and Emoriland area, Fairmont Park was first developed in the 1920s, but the neighborhood has many homes built in the 30s, 40s, and 50s. Architectural styles in the neighborhood include Tudor, Spanish Eclectic, and Colonial Revival, as well as many cottage style homes.

Fairmont Park is almost as walkable as Fairmont & Emoriland, with sidewalks present on most blocks of most streets.
Fairmont Park is easily accessible via I-40, I-640, and I-275. It’s also a great place for anyone looking for a quick commute to downtown or the UT campus.
So if you’re looking for an affordable, historic home in an quaint, walkable neighborhood with easy access to interstates, UT and downtown, the Fairmont Park might be right up your alley.
