The Mayfair Apartments

Prime Location Early morning commutes via bus and 'L' on the South side and then late night coummutes back home from downtown was overwhelming. For me, Mayfair Apartments is an ideal location. This locale is convient to major public transportation routes and other special or private transportation options like the campus shuttles, CTA/U. of C., Livery Cab or limousens services to Midway Airport. Via Metra rail the Loop/home is a leisuly and affordable 20 min. ride. Entertainment, shopping, dining, culutral and recreational destinations are also easily accesible and within walking distances. The Mayfair is a 12-story, 95 unit, smoke-free building. This TLC managed property was previously a vintage hotel and is situated on the tree-line boulevard in East Hyde Park. My apartment includes heating and appliances. It has a walk-in closet, ceiling fan and is cable ready. A bike room, on-site laundry facility and free Wi-Fi hot space is available in the lobby area 24/7 for use by tenants. Extra fees are charged for pets and off-street parking The common lobby area is kept neat and clean. However, serious attention needs to be given to the drab and dimly lighted hallways. The freight elevator's doors are heavy and the gated door is too cumbersome to maneuver with packages in hand. The stairwells need more than a cursory cleaning. Maintenance request and other tenant concerns are handled in an efficient and professional manner by the current leasing manager, Linley Thomas. The on-site building maintenance personnel, Sam Trujillo is skilled and courteous. Unlike the majority of managed rental properties in the community, Mayfair does not offer incentives for long-term tenancy nor discounted rates for veterans, seniors, teachers or students. Vacancies consistently peak and drop with the University of Chicago's enrollment and commencement dates.

Wonderful Space and Good Service I currently live here and must say I love that I have so much closet space. The building itself is an older building but that is what adds to its character. We have onsite management and maintenance. I've lived here for a few years and have never felt cramped in my apartment. If you need something, someone is there to answer your questions or get back to you relatively soon. I have recommended this place to a few friends and have a friend moving in next month. And it is always quiet.
