Farwell is a quiet residential neighbourhood with urban green spaces, access to the Big Eddy Bridge and Columbia River, a wellness studio, and the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre.

Before Revelstoke had its name, the first settlement was known as Farwell, founded by Mr. Farwell, around the railway. When Canadian Pacific found business costs too high in Farwell, they established their townsite right next door, naming it Revelstoke after Lord Revelstoke. Today, the area closest to the highway is still called Farwell.
