Mayfield

na

Mayfield truly is "a hamlet in the heart of town." Enter its broad, tree-lined streets and you're sure to see neighbors chatting in their yards and children everywhere you look. Springtime brings a burst of color from the neighborhood's many azaleas, daffodils and dogwood trees. With its suburban feel, this urban neighborhood is still just 15 minutes from the Inner Harbor, Fells Point/Canton, and Baltimore's art and theater districts in Mt. Vernon. Likewise, Mayfield is a short drive to most of Baltimore's largest employers.

Housing styles found in Mayfield include: Colonial, Tudor, Cape Cod, and Victorian. The neighborhood features a mix of four and three-bedroom single family homes and duplexes. Many of Mayfield's homes date from the 1930s and are built of stone, brick and stucco.

Mayfield is bordered on the south by Clifton Park and a municipal golf course and to the north by Herring Run Park. Its western border is Lake Montebello. Main access roads are Harford, Belair and Erdman.

The neighborhood has five churches of different denominations within its boundaries.

Mayfield is a diverse neighborhood with many young families. Professions among residents are varied as well and include: law, medical research, education, music, independent business owner, sales, and law enforcement.

About our association

na

The Mayfield Improvement Association's goals are to "promote, maintain and develop the general welfare of the residents, property and improvements" of Mayfield. Specifically, the association's job is to make sure that zoning and other Baltimore city laws affecting Mayfield are followed, and to ensure that Mayfield remains primarily a residential development.

Further, the Association is responsible for organizing such neighborhood events as the annual Mayfield block party, community yard sale, house tour, and Christmas decoration contest.

Annual membership dues are $10, and are used to help finance community events, association meetings, the Mayfield News, and neighborhood improvements.

The Mayfield Improvement Association's Board of Directors meets once a month. Officers are elected for a two-year term. Board committees are: zoning/housing, parks/streams/medians, police/community relations, welcoming, nominating, Mayfield news, social activities, communication/distribution, and various ad-hoc committees. Each board member is expected to chair one to two committees.

New members are needed!
