Fairway View Village

Independent Assessment

Fairway View Village's age-restriction structure is unusually well documented for a still-developing community: rather than relying only on marketing language, the Town of Wells Planning Board's own Findings of Facts & Decisions provide a direct source, stating directly that all units in the approved 46-unit subdivision are age-restricted except 4 specific one-family dwelling units. This is a high-authority, government-record source, and it is treated as the controlling account of the restriction's actual scope -- a genuine, disclosed partial exception (4 of 46 units) rather than a uniform restriction, structurally similar to the ambiguity found at Regency Woods in Kittery, though here the exception is precisely quantified and clearly sourced rather than unresolved. Separately, December 2025 Wells Planning Board meeting coverage describes the board pressing the developer over unresolved violations -- including dangerous handicap parking spaces, an unfinished paving course, and a retaining wall requiring stability confirmation -- with occupancy and HOA issues raised at the same meeting. This is a genuine, current governance and construction-quality concern that buyers evaluating this still-completing community should weigh directly, not a resolved or historical issue.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers seeking a newer-construction, attached duplex-style 55-plus home within a few minutes of area beaches spanning York to Kennebunkport, at a more moderate 1,640-square-foot scale with first-floor primary suite living, are the clearest match for Fairway View Village. Buyers comfortable purchasing into a still-finishing community -- where a handful of units remain and some site-work items were still being resolved with the town as of late 2025 -- may find good value in the community's remaining inventory, provided they confirm current construction-completion status directly.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Fairway View Village was approved by the Town of Wells Planning Board as a 46-unit Multifamily Development major subdivision: 4 one-family dwelling units (unrestricted) and 21 two-family/duplex buildings totaling 42 age-restricted units. A specific named developer distinct from Coldwell Banker Yorke Realty's marketing role was not found. As of the most recent sourcing reviewed, 39 of the 46 units were reported sold and occupied, with construction in a final phase.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

No specific current price range for Fairway View Village units was located in the sources reviewed. Buyers should work with Coldwell Banker Yorke Realty, the community's marketing agent, or another local Wells-area agent to identify current available units and recent comparable sales.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Fairway View Village is in its final construction phase as of the most recent review, with 39 of 46 units reported sold and occupied and occupancy for remaining units expected as construction completes. However, a December 2025 Wells Planning Board meeting documented unresolved developer violations -- handicap parking, paving, and retaining-wall stability -- that the town was actively pressing the developer to resolve, with the town noting it could use performance-guarantee funds if necessary. Buyers should confirm the current, specific resolution status of these items directly with the town, the HOA, and Coldwell Banker Yorke Realty before purchasing any remaining unit.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes at Fairway View Village are subject to Wells, Maine property tax administration (York County). Maine's own Human Rights Act, Title 5, Section 4581-A, governs the state's Fair Housing exemptions for age-restricted housing -- a legal nuance discussed in more detail on this state's own overview page, and one made directly relevant here given the community's partial exception for 4 unrestricted units. Buyers should confirm current property tax figures with the Town of Wells Assessor's office and request current homeowners/condo-master insurance quotes directly.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Fairway View Village is organized as a two-bedroom, duplex-style, 55-plus community with an open-concept main living area, first-floor primary suite, and a second-floor guest bedroom and loft, centered on a shared clubhouse offering a meeting room, kitchen, and exercise room. Details of organized resident-activity programming beyond the clubhouse amenities described were not independently confirmed; buyers should confirm current community-life details directly with residents or the HOA.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Fairway View Village is located in Wells, Maine, within minutes of area beaches spanning from York to Kennebunkport. A specific street address and drive times to area hospitals could not be independently confirmed; buyers should confirm these directly with Coldwell Banker Yorke Realty or a local agent.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

The Town of Wells Planning Board's own Findings of Facts & Decisions states directly that all units in the approved 46-unit Fairway View Village subdivision are age-restricted to residents 55 and older, except 4 specific one-family dwelling units, which are exempt. This is a high-authority, government-record source, and no conflicting account of the restriction's scope was found. Presented here as legally age-restricted 55+, with the 4-unit exception clearly disclosed; buyers should confirm any specific unit's restriction status directly before purchasing, and request the community's actual recorded declaration and covenants from a title company or the York County Registry of Deeds.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Buyers should understand that 4 of Fairway View Village's 46 approved units are explicitly not age-restricted, per the Town of Wells Planning Board's own findings -- buyers specifically seeking an age-restricted unit should confirm any specific unit's status directly before purchasing. More significantly, as of a December 2025 Wells Planning Board meeting, the board was still pressing the developer over unresolved site-work violations (handicap parking, paving, retaining-wall stability) and discussing occupancy and HOA issues -- buyers should ask directly, and in detail, about the current resolution status of these items, since the town noted it could use performance-guarantee funds to complete outstanding work if the developer or HOA does not. A specific current home-price range was not found; buyers should request this directly from Coldwell Banker Yorke Realty or the HOA.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Fairway View Village is distinguished by its duplex-style attached format and beach-proximate location (minutes from York-to-Kennebunkport beaches). Unlike the fully resolved age-restriction status at communities like Shepard's Cove or Farragut at Kennebunk, Fairway View Village carries both a disclosed, precisely quantified partial exception (4 of 46 units unrestricted) and genuine, currently unresolved construction-completion issues that buyers should weigh directly.
