Fairhaven Homes for Sale

First Impressions

Fairhaven in Matthews has the feel of a well-kept suburban enclave that still leaves room to breathe. The streetscape is shaped by two-story homes, ranch-style plans, and tidy front porches, with landscaped lots and fenced backyards giving the neighborhood a polished, lived-in look. Built mainly between 2006 and 2015, the homes have a newer-subdivision energy without feeling repetitive. It is the kind of place where curb appeal matters: covered entries, brick accents on some homes, and broad driveways help set a welcoming tone from the street.

Home Styles & Community Feel

Most homes in Fairhaven are detached single-family residences, and the floor plans tend to lean generous. Five-bedroom layouts are common, though there are also three- and four-bedroom options, along with a few ranch homes that offer a more single-level flow. Inside, buyers can expect open kitchens with islands, stainless appliances, granite or solid-surface counters, breakfast areas, lofts, and flexible rooms that can function as offices or bonus spaces. Many homes feature gas fireplaces, tray ceilings, walk-in closets, and main-level laundry, while outdoor living often includes patios, screened porches, covered porches, or fenced yards. The neighborhood’s appeal is reinforced by its amenities: a pool is central to the community experience, and playgrounds and a clubhouse add to the everyday convenience.
