Central Phoenix

Just released into the market in the Roosevelt historic district in downtown Phoenix.

This quintessential craftsman bungalow is a classic historic Roosevelt property that retains the historic character and charm yet it’s well suited for modern urban living with all the comfort and conveniences.

This is dream home. As an agent I feel proud to represent such a well preserved and well modernized home. Unlike so many homes that have been updated this one leaves very little to be desired. Simply lovely.

Please check out the property specific page for all the details and huge photos.

A wonderful small neighborhood with ranch homes, palm trees, lots of character and a strong sense of community.

The Biltmore, Arcadia or the Camelback Corridor it's not.  This area is in disputed territory, no one knows where it belongs.  Now at least it's a bit clearer.  This is Arcadia Lite. 

While not Arcadia proper the sentiment is more toward the east then west. Arcadia Lite is bound by Campbell to Indian School and 32nd St. to 36th St.  The name has been around  while but only recently did the street signs receive that added neighborhood sign as pictured above. There are about 500 homes represented in this neighborhood. 

They are mostly ranch homes of medium size from the mid century and many remodeled homes.  While still in a

Coffee shops are one of the newer staples in the urban Phoenix scene: newer as in the last few years there's been a boom of locally owned coffee shops with character and most are in Central Phoenix.

The photos above is a small section of a new huge and massive steel and concrete table outside of Lola Coffee in Midtown Phoenix. I remember seeing the table for sale on the Modern Phoenix classifieds. It was a great purchase and I'm glad it's somewhere more people can enjoy. In fact, one of the reasons I like this location so much is because it has several different seating options. I know that may sound banal, but it's an importnat element of any place.

You can sit outside on a bench, a table with 3-4 seats, two classroom chair-table combos or at

Drive around Willo these last few weeks and you can't miss the fact that there will be a home tour soon.  In fact the Willo Historic District home tour is coming Sunday, February 14th.

If you're not familiar with the beauty and quality of historic homes, then I urge you to explore them.  When well restored these homes are like fine art: comparable to any piece of art like hand made violins or exceptional furniture, just on a larger scale.

Buy tickets  and see which home will be on tour here:  also if you drive the neighborhood the homes which will be open have sings.

Another home tour is in Brentwood, a

Get to know North Central Phoenix and the history of its heart: North Central Avenue. A beautiful area with a rich history.

North Central Phoenix is an amazing part of this valley, one amongst several and each has something different to offer.  NCN has a rich long history, long for Greater Phoenix, in which it was able to come into it's own with deep roots, rich niches and a unique sense of place. We have written many articles on this subject: of course, because this is where we do a lot of business and it's also where we spend a lot of time.  

While the boundaries of North Central Phoenix are up for discussion there are certain aspects which are ingrained and certain. North Central Avenue is one of these: it's truly the start of North Central

A prestigious, beautiful neighborhood full of spectacular houses and character located in the well established North Central Phoenix. Rancho Solano is a small community in North Central Phoenix, part of the extension of the original Orangewood subdivision developed by W.J. Murphy.

It's the only neighborhood which has pavers for a side walk along Central Ave which make riding a bike quite a vibrating experience.  This is where trees take precedence over streets and where art sits on front lawns.

This is a very beautiful neighborhood of about 90 homes.  It's characterized by large lots; most are 20,000 s.f. or larger and many are up to an acre; the lawns are green with lush well manicured grass.  You won't see any two story homes.  It's bordered
