Mayfair, also known as Parkside, is a delightful neighborhood flanked by historic Kenilworth Park and the Anacostia River. The area is the proud home of the Parkside Campus of the Cesar Chavez Public Charter School for Public Policy. Housing opportunities in Mayfair consist primarily of brick rowhouses along with one-story bungalows and two-story duplexes. Multi-family housing is attractive in Mayfair with a handful of well kept and tastefully landscaped garden apartment complexes, including the newer Lotus Square Apartments, cleverly named for the water-flora found at the nearby Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens.
Mayfair has no Metro Station, however, the Minnesota Ave Metro Station on the Orange and Silver lines is located just outside the Mayfair border. The Anacostia Fwy (I-295) runs along the eastern border of Mayfair, enabling residents easy access into Washington city center, and quick access outside the District of Columbia to Maryland.
Mayfair is bounded by Deane Ave NE to the north, Anacostia Fwy to the east, Benning Rd NE to the south, and Anacostia Ave NE to the west.
