Mayfair functions as a Metra stop along the Milwaukee District North Line, positioned on the boundary between Chicago's Albany Park and Portage Park neighborhoods. The station's official address is 4357 North Cicero Avenue (Illinois Route 50), situated close to the intersection of West Pensacola and North Kilpatrick Avenues. It lies from Chicago Union Station, which serves as the southern endpoint of the line, providing service to passengers traveling between Union Station and Fox Lake, Illinois. Within Metra's fare zoning framework, Mayfair is classified under zone 2. In 2018, it held the position of 147th busiest among 236 non-central Metra stations, with an average weekday boarding count of 281.
By February 15, 2024, Mayfair is serviced by a total of 40 trains on weekdays (19 inbound and 21 outbound), all 20 scheduled trains on Saturdays (split evenly with 10 in each direction), and all 18 trains operating on Sundays and holidays (nine each way).
Passengers can connect to the Blue Line at the nearby Montrose Avenue station as well as access various CTA bus routes. Although an at-grade crossing exists just north of Mayfair’s platforms with the Union Pacific Northwest Line, there are no direct transfer points to UP-NW stations within Albany Park since the closure of that line’s local platforms in 1958.
