Suburban living in Mayfair, Lakewood's very first neighborhood
Mayfair, the first neighborhood of Lakewood, set the tone for what planners envisioned the city would be. Anchored by the spacious Mayfair Park, the community is quiet and residential — mostly just rows of ranch-style homes where newcomers often settle down for the long haul. Because of its street design, there isn’t much through traffic, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. This is reflected in a 3 out of 10 CAP Index Crime Score, lower than the national average of 4. For about 75 years, Mayfair has kept a family-friendly atmosphere, from its popular park to well-rated public schools.
Ballfields and events at walkable parks
Since 1951, Mayfair Park has been the community’s flagship recreation space, covering about 18 acres on the neighborhood’s south end. It has an outdoor swimming pool, ballfields and a playground. The park grounds host the annual Pan Am Fiesta, which takes place in May. The popular four-day event includes free concerts, carnival rides and food trucks. Just south of the park is the Burns Community Center, which residents can rent for parties. San Martin Park has plenty of dog-friendly walking paths less than a mile from the neighborhood. It also has basketball courts and barbecues.

Renovated ranch-style homes in Mayfair
Other than retail on its southern edge, Mayfair is a completely residential neighborhood. Its loose grid-style streets are lined with single-family homes and jacaranda trees, which add a pop of color to the area in the spring. The yards have room for quaint garden beds, usually decorated with rose bushes and succulents. “In Mayfair, some of the homes have one car garages and different two- and three-bedroom models,” says Realtor Debra Van Leeuwen, who works with Home Base Realty and has over three decades of experience in the area. These ranch-style houses are the oldest in Lakewood, developed in the 1940s. “Over the last 75 years, people have added on and changed things, so there’s quite a variety. The neighborhood has a lot of renovations for growing families, and it's a great place to downsize, too, depending on where they’re coming from,” Van Leeuwen says. The homes in Mayfair typically range from $800,000 to $1 million, although some modified to be multifamily can go up to $2 million.
