A Brief History

At one time, from 1960-2007, there was a beautiful 18-hole golf course behind our buildings, beginning where the hedges and bushes begin covering the elementary school, memory care business, apartment buildings and Waln St. There was even a clubhouse.

Our complex was built in 1979 and occasionally a golf ball finds its way into the yards. Once the course was closed, the property sat vacant for years. Eventually, a flood plain study took place and Battlecreek elementary school was built in 2012, then apartments and memory care. An urban park is planned. It's been years since the City of Salem has had a town meeting to discuss park options.

Believe it or not, Fairway had a stop sign to get on Commercial!!
