Mayfair is block after block of brick air lite and straight through rows built around 1950, with Frankford Avenue as its main street. The figures on this page come from Bright MLS sales that listing agents placed in the Mayfair neighborhood. Philadelphia neighborhood lines are informal, so a handful of nearby sales tagged with a neighboring name or simply Philadelphia are not counted here. See the Philadelphia community page for the citywide picture.
