What Buyers Should Know
Mayfair is a historic residential neighborhood without a gated perimeter — safety is shaped by the specific block, neighbor tenure, and street activity rather than a controlled-access program. The 280-home neighborhood has over 65 years of established residential character, and long-tenure homeowners are common on many blocks. Review LVMPD precinct-level data for the exact address before making a purchasing decision.
At the metro level, Las Vegas tracks below national violent-crime averages per FBI Uniform Crime Reporting comparisons, but central ZIP 89109 is more mixed than suburban master-planned communities. Buyers relocating from lower-density suburban environments should walk the specific block at different times of day as part of their due diligence.

LIVABILITY REPORT CARD
How Does Mayfair Score for Livability?
Mayfair earns top marks for central location, architectural character, and renovation value, with honest trade-offs on school ratings and the vintage-home condition variable. Below is our category-by-category report card — the same six factors our agents walk through with every buyer considering a mid-century Las Vegas neighborhood before a first Mayfair tour.
Grade A: Location
15 minutes to the Strip and Downtown Las Vegas with no freeway required — a central positioning most Las Vegas buyers sacrifice for newer construction in distant suburbs.
Grade B: Schools
Clark High School 6/10 and Fremont Middle 5/10 on GreatSchools for the zoned public tier; Bishop Gorman (A+) and Coral Academy (8/10) serve families weighting private and charter options nearby.
Grade A: Cost of Living
Entry from $350K with $0–$45/mo HOA — among the most affordable central-Las Vegas options with genuine renovation upside. Nevada's zero income tax adds further relief.
Grade B+: Amenities
Lorenzi Park 10 minutes away, Downtown Las Vegas arts and dining 15 minutes, and the Strip entertainment corridor 15 minutes — solid access without premium dues.
Grade A-: Walkability
Tree-lined streets and pedestrian-friendly layout rare in the Las Vegas Valley — a genuine differentiator for buyers who value neighborhood walkability over suburban scale.
Grade A: Renovation Value
Wide $300K+ spread between original-condition and fully restored homes — the largest renovation upside of any sub-$650K central Las Vegas neighborhood.

Quick Answer
Is Mayfair a good place to live in Las Vegas?
Yes — for buyers who value central location, architectural character, and renovation upside over new-build finishes. Mayfair delivers walkable tree-lined streets, a 15-minute Strip commute, and 280-plus mid-century homes from $350K to $650K in ZIP 89109. The honest trade-offs: zoned public schools in the 5–6/10 GreatSchools range, vintage systems that require due diligence, and an open-street neighborhood without the security perimeter of gated communities. Nevada's zero state income tax sweetens every Las Vegas relocation, including Mayfair.

Who Lives in Mayfair?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas city — the municipality containing Mayfair — the parent city holds 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Community records place Mayfair itself at 840-plus residents across 280-plus households, with an average household income estimated above $55,000 and approximately 50% homeownership.
The Census does not break Mayfair out as its own place, so the figures below are Las Vegas citywide — presented honestly as the statistical backdrop. Inside the neighborhood, our closing data shows a blend of urban professionals drawn to the central location and walkable character, renovation investors who see the gap between original and restored pricing, first-time buyers entering at the $350K tier, and long-tenure homeowners who established roots here in the 1960s and 1970s.

POPULATION & GROWTH
How Fast Is the Mayfair Area Growing?
Mayfair itself is built out — the 280-plus home neighborhood completed its original development in the 1960s — while its parent city continues adding residents. Las Vegas has grown by roughly 120,000 people since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and central ZIP 89109 benefits from that growth through sustained housing demand and renovation momentum as buyers rediscover vintage neighborhoods.
Las Vegas city population trajectory, 2010–2030 (projected)
Inside Mayfair, growth means turnover and renovation, not expansion: the 280-home neighborhood is built out, so every new Las Vegas resident seeking central-ZIP character competes for a fixed supply. That scarcity equation — rising demand against capped inventory — is the investment logic of a finished historic neighborhood that suburban master plans cannot replicate.

LIVABILITY SCORES
How Does Mayfair Score for Livability?
Mayfair pairs A-grade central location and renovation value with honest trade-offs: zoned public schools in the 5–6/10 GreatSchools range, vintage-home condition risk, and an open-street neighborhood without a security perimeter.

Condition Tier Deep Dive
What's Inside Each Mayfair Condition Tier?
Submarket 1
Original Condition
Original-condition Mayfair homes in their 1959-era state — original kitchens, baths, and systems that need updating. Entry-tier pricing creates the widest renovation upside and draws FHA and conventional buyers willing to undertake improvements after closing.
Browse Original Condition homes →Submarket 2
Partially Updated
Homes with updated kitchens or baths, newer HVAC, or improved electrical — partially renovated examples that reduce immediate work requirements while retaining mid-century character. This tier moves faster than original-condition homes and requires less renovation budget from the buyer.
Browse Partially Updated homes →Submarket 3
Fully Renovated
Fully restored mid-century homes with updated systems, period-appropriate design details, open-plan renovations, and contemporary kitchens and baths.

WHY MAYFAIR
Why Does Mayfair Stand Apart From Its Peers?
From the mid-century architecture to the central ZIP 89109 walkability, Mayfair occupies ground no new-build suburb can claim at its price point in Las Vegas. The five advantages below are each tied to a verifiable source — the Nevada Revised Statutes, FBI crime data, Census figures, GreatSchools, and Las Vegas REALTORS — so you can check every claim.
- Community records
Authentic mid-century architecture from $350K
Established in 1959 — 280-plus homes with genuine 1950s design character, tree-lined walkable streets, and mature landscaping that no new-build master plan can replicate at any price.
- Nevada Department of Taxation
Zero state income tax
Nevada levies no personal income tax — meaningful savings for any household, and a decisive advantage for buyers relocating from California's 13.3% top rate.
- NRS 361.471
3% property-tax cap
Annual increases on a primary residence are capped by statute — predictable carrying costs even as Las Vegas values appreciate.
- LVR / Community records
Renovation upside wider than any other central ZIP
The $300K spread between original-condition and fully restored Mayfair homes creates a value-add opportunity that suburban new-build communities simply cannot offer.
- Las Vegas REALTORS / GLVAR, June 2026
Finite supply in a growing market
The 280-home neighborhood is built out — no new supply can dilute it while Las Vegas continues adding residents who want central character over suburban distance.

Quick Answer
What does an HOA cost in Mayfair?
Most Mayfair homes have no HOA at all — a common characteristic of Las Vegas neighborhoods platted in the 1950s. Where dues exist, they typically run $0–$45 per month for nominal common-area maintenance. This is a genuine financial advantage over master-planned communities at similar price points, where HOA dues of $100–$400/mo are standard. Verify HOA status for the specific address during due diligence and request any applicable resale package before closing.
Should I Move to Mayfair in Las Vegas?
Urban professionals and renovation buyers from California find that mid-century character priced beyond reach on the coast is attainable in central Las Vegas. California's top income-tax rate is 13.3% per the Franchise Tax Board; Nevada's is zero — that single line, paired with walkable mid-century streets and Strip proximity, finances most Mayfair relocations.
Why Urban Buyers Are Choosing Mayfair
The tax math is compelling at any price tier: California's top marginal state income tax is 13.3% — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $150,000 saves over $10,000 per year in state income taxes alone. Mayfair adds the mid-century character argument that California's coastal suburbs still have, but at a fraction of the cost: authentic 1959 architecture, tree-lined walkable streets, 280-plus homes on 40 acres, and a central ZIP 89109 address that puts the Strip 15 minutes away without a freeway.
At a $400,000 budget, California buyers are looking at a fixer in a distant suburb with long commutes and no neighborhood identity. That same budget in Mayfair secures a mid-century home with renovation upside, walkable tree-lined streets, and a central Las Vegas address 15 minutes from the Strip — with Downtown Las Vegas's arts and dining scene also 15 minutes away and Nevada's zero income tax stretching every dollar further.
According to Las Vegas REALTORS, the median list price across ZIP 89109 is $365,000. Per the Clark County Assessor, the effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value. FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data provides metropolitan crime context, and GreatSchools rates nearby schools including Bishop Gorman and Coral Academy of Science highly for families weighing private and charter options.
Mayfair runs on Las Vegas's central economic engine: Strip and convention employment 15 minutes away, Downtown Las Vegas's growing arts and hospitality sector 15 minutes in the other direction, and the broader metro's healthcare, tech, and professional-services sectors feeding urban professionals who want a walkable neighborhood identity without suburban distance.
Cost of Living Snapshot — Mayfair, NV vs. Los Angeles, CA
Day-to-day costs run meaningfully lower than coastal California across every category. Nevada has no state income tax and no personal property tax on vehicles beyond registration. The category that flips hardest is housing: a renovated mid-century home with walkable streets and Strip proximity that costs $500,000–$650,000 in Mayfair would list for $1.5M–$2.5M in comparable Los Angeles walkable neighborhoods.
| Metric | Mayfair, NV | Los Angeles, CA |
|---|---|---|
| State Income Tax | None | Up to 13.3% |
| Mid-Century Entry Point | $350K (Mayfair) | $1.5M+ typical |
| Effective Property Tax Rate | ~0.5%–0.7% | ~1.1% on new purchases |

Mayfair Rental Market — Rent vs. Own
Central Las Vegas ZIP 89109 single-family homes typically rent for $1,800–$2,800 per month, with renovated Mayfair mid-century homes commanding premiums at the top of that band given their architectural distinctiveness. Rental vacancy in the central ZIP is firm — tenant demand from Strip and Downtown workers keeps inventory moving. Short-term rentals are tightly regulated in Las Vegas — confirm permit rules with the City of Las Vegas before underwriting nightly income on any Mayfair property.

Start Your Mayfair Home SearchRELOCATION TIMELINE
How to relocate to Mayfair in 8 steps
From first research to keys-in-hand, here's the 8-12 week timeline most Mayfair buyers follow. Two deadlines are statutory: Nevada requires a driver's license within 30 days of residency and vehicle registration within 60, per the Nevada DMV — miss them and registration penalties stack.
Pick your condition tier and set a budget
Decide which Mayfair you are buying: $350K–$450K original-condition for maximum renovation upside, $450K–$550K partially updated for moderate move-in readiness, or $550K–$650K fully restored for turnkey mid-century living. Each tier carries different inspection risk, renovation cost, and immediate out-of-pocket requirements.
Get pre-approved — condition-aware
Some lenders restrict financing on homes with deferred maintenance or condition issues. FHA loans require the property to meet minimum property standards; conventional lenders may escrow repairs. Work with a lender experienced in vintage-home financing before you make offers on original-condition properties.
Hire a Mayfair specialist
Renovation-level assessment, systems-age pricing, block-level safety evaluation, and HOA verification all drive significant value differences between otherwise similar Mayfair homes. An agent who knows central Las Vegas vintage neighborhoods saves real money.
Schedule open-street showings
No gate coordination required — Mayfair is openly accessible for showings. Nevada Real Estate Group arranges tours across the central Las Vegas ZIP 89109 corridor, including Mayfair and comparable mid-century neighborhoods, so you can compare multiple properties in one outing. Call (702) 637-1759 to schedule.
Write and negotiate the offer
Original-condition homes give the most negotiation room — inspection findings on 1959-era systems are expected and priced into seller expectations. Fully renovated examples attract sharper competition. Anchor your offer to renovation-adjusted comparables, not raw price per square foot.
Inspection and vintage systems review
Hire a specialist inspector with vintage-home experience: knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, galvanized plumbing, cast-iron drain lines, flat-roof condition, original HVAC, and foundation integrity are all priority items. Budget repair costs before waiving inspection contingencies.
Clear conditions and fund
Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys; expect 30-45 days from acceptance to funding. FHA 203(k) renovation loans add time for contractor bidding — budget 45-60 days if using a renovation loan product. HOA docs (where applicable) deliver within a few business days of request.
Close, move, and register
Transfer utilities (NV Energy, Southwest Gas, City of Las Vegas water), change your address with USPS and financial institutions, then handle the DMV — license within 30 days of establishing Nevada residency, vehicle registration within 60.

BUY VS RENT
Should you buy or rent in Mayfair right now?
Central Las Vegas rents are firm for mid-century character properties, and at current rates the monthly gap narrows when renovation equity upside and tax effects are counted — for 5+ year holds in a finite 280-home neighborhood, the math tilts toward owning, especially when renovation adds significant forced equity above the purchase price.

The 5-year breakeven
Owning a $400,000 Mayfair home for five years is close to rent-neutral on pure carrying cost — but the renovation upside equation changes the math entirely: a $60,000 renovation investment on an original-condition home can add $100,000–$150,000 in value, turning a moderate cash-flow outcome into a strong total-return hold. Renters accumulate none of that equity. The 280-home supply constraint gives appreciation assumptions structural support.
Model assumptions: 7.0% 30-yr fixed (Freddie Mac PMMS), 3% annual appreciation + renovation uplift, 4% annual rent growth, 0.6% effective property tax, $20/mo HOA, ~7% resale costs.

Quick Answer
How long does it take to close on a Mayfair home?
Most Mayfair purchases close in 30 to 45 days through Nevada escrow — no attorney required. Cash buyers close in 10 to 14 days. FHA 203(k) renovation loans require contractor bidding, so budget 45 to 60 days. Request the HOA resale package the day you go under contract so dues clear before contingency deadlines.
Quick Answer
What down payment do you need to buy in Mayfair?
Most Mayfair buyers use conventional financing with 5–20% down or FHA loans with 3.5% down for qualifying credit scores. At a $400,000 purchase price, 3.5% is $14,000 and 20% is $80,000. VA loans allow 0% down for eligible veterans. One note: lenders may add renovation escrow requirements if the home has deferred maintenance flagged by appraisal, so confirm your loan program handles the property condition before making an offer.
Mayfair FAQ — 18 Answers
What Do Mayfair Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhat is the median home price in Mayfair?
Mayfair homes are priced from roughly $350,000 for original-condition mid-century properties to $650,000 for fully renovated examples with updated systems, open-plan layouts, and upgraded kitchens. ZIP 89109 showed a $365,000 median list price per Las Vegas REALTORS in June 2026 — and restored Mayfair properties consistently outperform that figure because the renovation quality differential is wide. The neighborhood holds 280-plus homes on 40 acres, so supply is genuinely thin at any one time.
What ZIP code is Mayfair in?
Mayfair is in ZIP 89109, a central Las Vegas code that puts residents about 15 minutes from the Strip via local roads, 15 minutes from Downtown Las Vegas, 20 minutes from Harry Reid International Airport via I-15 or I-215, and 25 minutes from Summerlin via US-95. That central positioning is a core part of the Mayfair value argument — walkable streets, short commutes, and no freeway required for most daily destinations.
What are HOA fees in Mayfair?
Mayfair HOA fees run $0 to $45 per month — many homes have no formal HOA at all, which is characteristic of Las Vegas neighborhoods platted in the 1950s. Where a nominal fee exists, it typically covers shared common-area upkeep rather than resort amenities. The low carrying cost is a genuine advantage for buyers who want neighborhood character without mandatory dues. Verify HOA status for the specific address during due diligence.
How far is Mayfair from the Las Vegas Strip?
Mayfair sits roughly 15 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip via local roads with no freeway required. Downtown Las Vegas is also about 15 minutes, Harry Reid International Airport about 20 minutes via I-15 or I-215, and Summerlin roughly 25 minutes via US-95 or Summerlin Parkway. Test the commute at your actual work hours — central ZIP 89109 runs well in most directions without the distance penalty of suburban addresses.
What schools serve Mayfair?
Mayfair is zoned for Clark County School District campuses including Clark High School (6/10 GreatSchools), Fremont Middle School (5/10), and John C. Fremont Elementary (6/10). Families weighting private options include Bishop Gorman High School and The Meadows School — both rated A+ — and charter options include Coral Academy of Science (8/10) and Nevada State High School (7/10). Confirm zoning directly with CCSD before writing an offer, as assignments are address-specific and can shift.
What makes Mayfair different from other Las Vegas neighborhoods?
Mayfair is one of the few neighborhoods in Las Vegas where mid-century architecture from 1959 is the norm rather than a one-off find. The 280-plus homes on 40 tree-lined walkable acres in ZIP 89109 deliver a neighborhood character — mature landscaping, human-scale streets, and design consistency — that no master-planned suburb can replicate. Renewed buyer demand from architecture enthusiasts, urban professionals, and renovation investors has pushed pricing into the $350K–$650K band depending on condition.
What renovation potential do Mayfair homes offer?
Significant. Original-condition homes in Mayfair regularly sell in the $350K–$450K range, and fully restored mid-century examples with updated systems — new HVAC, updated electrical panels, modern kitchens, and period-appropriate finishes — have cleared $600,000-plus. The spread between unrenovated and restored is wider in Mayfair than most Las Vegas neighborhoods because the underlying architecture has authentic character buyers will pay a premium for. Budget a full systems inspection before offering on any original-condition home.
Is Mayfair a good neighborhood for first-time buyers?
Yes, with clear eyes on condition. Mayfair offers an entry point around $350,000 in a central Las Vegas ZIP with walkable streets, no mandatory HOA, and renovation upside — a combination that suburban new-build neighborhoods at similar prices cannot match. The honest trade-off is that 1959-vintage homes require due diligence on original systems: roofing, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical often need updating. A thorough inspection and a realistic renovation budget protect first-time buyers from surprises.
Are there investment properties available in Mayfair?
Mayfair is a consistent target for buy-renovate-hold and buy-renovate-sell investors because the gap between original-condition pricing ($350K–$450K) and renovated-condition pricing ($550K–$650K) is large enough to justify renovation costs. Long-term rental demand is steady given the central ZIP 89109 location and Strip-adjacent employment. Short-term rental rules in Las Vegas are strict — confirm the current STR ordinance with the City of Las Vegas before underwriting nightly income on any Mayfair property.
What property taxes are like in Mayfair?
Nevada's effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor, and the state caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. On a $400,000 purchase, plan around $2,000 to $2,800 annually. Long-held Mayfair homes often carry abated tax bills — assessed value resets to current market value after sale, so verify the post-sale figure with the Clark County Assessor before building your ownership-cost budget.
How competitive is the Mayfair market right now?
ZIP 89109 showed 314 active listings and a 50-day median DOM in June 2026 per Las Vegas REALTORS — a softer pace than suburban master plans, which benefits buyers with time to inspect and negotiate. Within Mayfair specifically, the 280-home supply means well-priced renovated examples do attract competing interest. Original-condition homes at the lower price tier typically allow more negotiation room, especially when inspection findings uncover deferred maintenance on vintage systems.
What should I look for when buying a mid-century home in Mayfair?
Four categories require extra scrutiny in 1959-era construction. First, electrical: original knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring needs updating before any lender will insure. Second, plumbing: original cast-iron drain lines and galvanized supply lines are approaching end of useful life. Third, roofing: original flat or low-slope roofs are high-maintenance in a desert climate. Fourth, HVAC: oversized window units were the norm — verify central-air retrofit quality and duct condition. A specialist inspector with vintage-home experience is worth the investment.
How does Mayfair compare to nearby Spring Valley or McNeil?
Mayfair offers authentic 1959 mid-century architecture and a walkable tree-lined identity that Spring Valley and McNeil do not replicate — both are less architecturally cohesive. Spring Valley has more new-build options and slightly lower Strip-commute times; McNeil in ZIP 89102 runs a similar price band but with a more mixed housing stock. Mayfair commands a premium over comparable condition homes in Spring Valley because the design integrity and walkability are rare in Las Vegas.
What parks and outdoor amenities are near Mayfair?
Lorenzi Park at 3333 W Washington Avenue offers lakes, playgrounds, sports fields, and walking paths about 10 minutes away. Sunset Park at 2601 E Sunset Road — 324 acres with a lake, disc golf, and trails — is about 15 minutes southeast. Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs offers 680 acres of ponds, picnic areas, and wildlife habitat in northwest Las Vegas. Walkable street access within Mayfair itself is a distinct amenity among Las Vegas neighborhoods of this vintage.
What should I know before buying in Mayfair?
Four factors determine value in Mayfair. First, renovation level: the gap between unrenovated ($350K) and fully restored ($650K) is the widest variable — price the work honestly before you offer. Second, systems age: 1959 construction means original electrical, plumbing, and roofing may all be due. Third, HOA status: most homes have none, but verify for the specific address. Fourth, tax reset: long-held homes re-assess to market value at sale — confirm the post-sale figure with the Clark County Assessor during escrow.
What down payment do you need to buy in Mayfair?
Most Mayfair buyers use conventional financing with 5% to 20% down, or FHA with 3.5% down at a 580-plus credit score. On a $400,000 purchase, 5% is $20,000 and 20% is $80,000. VA allows zero down for eligible veterans. Confirm your loan program handles the property condition before offering — lenders may escrow repairs on deferred-maintenance homes.
Can I rent out a Mayfair home as a short-term rental?
Short-term rentals in Las Vegas are strictly regulated — permits are required, and the City of Las Vegas enforces compliance actively. Most Mayfair properties are not in zones that permit unrestricted short-term use. Before underwriting any vacation-rental income on a Mayfair property, confirm the current STR ordinance and permit availability with the City of Las Vegas directly. Nevada Real Estate Group can connect you with the right contacts during due diligence.
How long does it take to close on a Mayfair home?
Most Mayfair purchases close in 30 to 45 days from accepted offer — Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys. Cash purchases can close in 10 to 14 days. Renovation-loan products like FHA 203(k) add time for contractor bidding and lender approval — budget 45 to 60 days. Pull any HOA resale package the day you go under contract so dues and transfer fees clear before contingency deadlines.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK
What Else Do People Ask About Mayfair?
These are the eight queries Mayfair buyers type into Google and AI assistants — answered with verifiable specifics sourced from City of Las Vegas, Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data, and GreatSchools school ratings. Every figure links to a primary source you can check.
Is Mayfair part of Las Vegas?
Yes — Mayfair is a historic mid-century neighborhood within the incorporated boundaries of the City of Las Vegas in ZIP 89109. Mailing addresses say Las Vegas, NV 89109. It is a neighborhood name, not a separate municipality. City of Las Vegas municipal services cover trash, water, parks, and zoning for all Mayfair properties.
What ZIP code does Mayfair use?
ZIP 89109 — a central Las Vegas code covering Mayfair and surrounding neighborhoods including Strip-adjacent properties. Drive times from this ZIP run 15 minutes to the Strip, 15 minutes to Downtown Las Vegas, and 20 minutes to Harry Reid International via I-15 or I-215.
Are Mayfair homes expensive?
Relative to the Las Vegas metro, no — Mayfair homes range from $350,000 for original-condition mid-century properties to $650,000 for fully renovated examples. The Las Vegas metro median is $476,000, and suburban new-build alternatives at Mayfair's price point typically lack the architectural character and central location that define the neighborhood.
How old are homes in Mayfair?
Mayfair was established in 1959, making its homes approximately 65-67 years old as of 2026. That vintage means original-condition examples often need updated electrical, plumbing, roofing, and HVAC — but also means genuinely authentic mid-century architecture that new construction cannot replicate. Budget a full specialist systems inspection before offering on any original-condition home.
Does Mayfair have an HOA?
Most Mayfair homes have no HOA — a common characteristic of Las Vegas neighborhoods platted in the 1950s. Where dues exist, they run $0–$45 per month for nominal common-area maintenance. This is a genuine financial advantage versus master-planned communities at similar prices where $100–$400/mo dues are standard. Verify HOA status for the specific address during due diligence.
Is Mayfair walkable?
Yes — Mayfair features tree-lined streets and a pedestrian-friendly layout that is genuinely rare in Las Vegas. Within the 40-acre neighborhood, walking and cycling are practical for daily movement. The central ZIP 89109 position also makes the broader area more transit-accessible than suburban Las Vegas addresses, though a car remains necessary for most daily errands.
How far is Mayfair from the airport?
Approximately 20 minutes from Mayfair to Harry Reid International Airport via I-15 or I-215 — a faster airport commute than many suburban Las Vegas addresses. The central ZIP 89109 position and multiple freeway access points make the airport trip predictable in most traffic conditions.
Is Mayfair a good investment?
The fundamentals favor long-term holds: a finite 280-home supply that cannot expand, a $300K renovation value spread that creates forced-equity opportunities, and a central ZIP 89109 location that becomes more valuable as Las Vegas grows around it. Returns depend heavily on renovation level and the specific purchase price — ask Nevada Real Estate Group for recent mid-century Las Vegas comps before writing an offer.

Where Does This Mayfair Data Come From?
Every statistic on this page is sourced from a primary or government dataset, and we refresh these numbers monthly. One honesty note: the MLS reports at ZIP level, and ZIP 89109 is broader than Mayfair's 280-home mid-century neighborhood — so area statistics are labeled as such. Follow any link to verify a figure.
