Fairport, NY Real Estate

Incorporated in 1867, the Village of Fairport is located on the historic Erie Canal within the Town of Perinton. The very first use of the Fairport name was recorded in 1829 by a traveler who deemed it a “fair port” in which to stay. For the more than 5,000 residents and over 300 business owners, the Village of Fairport provides a quality of life and opportunity for commerce that’s unmatched by many communities of the same size.

The Erie Canal provides ample recreational activities for boaters, canoes, kayaks, and tour boats, while the old towpath serves bikers, joggers, and walkers. With its quiet, tree-lined streets, specialty shopping, and front porch friendliness, the Village of Fairport offers contemporary living at its very best. Residents have access to one of the premiere public education systems in the state – not to mention a village library, historical museum, and lush canalside parks. There exists a compatible array of professional and commercial offices, retail businesses, and clean, light industry – all within walking distance of some of the most desirable Victorian-style family neighborhoods in Monroe County. Each June Fairport’s Canal Days attracts more than 400 arts and crafts exhibitors from the United States and tens of thousands of visitors to one of the most anticipated festivals of its kind.
