Area Description
Fairfield is a pleasant, residential community with a mix of low-rise apartments and single family homes on well-maintained, tree-lined streets. It is bounded to the east by Oak Bay, to the north by the community of Rockland, to the west by Beacon Hill Park and to the south by the ocean shoreline of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Fairfield features the historic Ross Bay Cemetery, as well as many heritage buildings dating from the late Victorian and Edwardian periods.
Within Fairfield, Cook Street Village is a popular commercial hub characterized by sidewalk-flanking Horse Chestnut trees, low-height buildings and the absence of bisecting roads. The village is a popular shopping and social strip, with cafés, restaurants, small boutiques and grocery stores. Shops and services in the village include the locally-renowned Pic-a-Flic video store, Moka House, Bubby's Kitchen and the Beagle Pub.
