I recently drove along the Dallas Rd Waterway then through Hollywood Crecent and took a Video of the Dallas Rd and Homes along Holloywood Crescent area to give you an idea of the Quaintness and Character of the Dallas road Waterfront where it is a popular walking Area from the Ogden Point Break Water to Clover Point Near Moss Street in Fairfield. Great Place for Family and Pets

History of Fairfield, Fairfield is a pleasant, residential community with a mix of low-rise apartments and single family homes on well-maintained, tree-lined streets. Fairfield is the southern-most neighbourhood in the city of Victoria, on southern Vancouver Island.
