"In the early 20th century, the population of Queens exploded, surpassing one million by 1930. To accommodate and further fuel this growth, the Independent Subway System built a new line deep into the borough - reaching Jackson Heights in 1933, and Kew Gardens at the end of 1936. Months later, on a small quiet road around the corner from the brand-new 75th Avenue station, the Austin Building Corporation introduced the 'Mayfair House' to Forest Hills. A grand and spacious prewar structure, the Mayfair was touted by its sponsor as 'a most beautiful house, with rooms planned to suit the most exacting and discriminating person.' It featured 9-foot ceilings, and over-sized bedrooms (14' X 20') in each of its 71 apartments; its largest units spanned more than 1600 square feet. Incorporated as a co-operative in 1983, and since then primarily owner-occupied, the co-op is in strong financial shape and the building is exceptionally well maintained. The building has long had a diverse and friendly vibe, . Residents of the Mayfair enjoy an easy commute into the city, paired with the attractions of this quaint and peaceful community. They walk 2 minutes to the express subway, which carries them into Manhattan in 20 minutes. Or, staying local, they walk around the other corner to the shops of Austin Street, and just 3 minutes into the lush and historic Forest Hills Gardens."
