North Central Phoenix has a very long history, for the Southwest that is, which stretches well over 100 years. The Murphy Bridle Path is still in use to this day. It provides shady unique trail for walking, jogging or cycling. It is a beautiful very green neighborhood with few gated communities, huge grass covered lawns and lots of mature trees, especially along the Central Corridor. The yards and greenery fade toward the north and east where the yards and homes do get smaller.
Architecture is very diverse. You'll find Vintage ranch, Spanish revival, Tuscan, Territorial, Santa Barbara, Modern and Contemporary styles. But, the prevailing style is ranch and it melds well into the terrain. The most prominent homes are in the Central Corridor yet not exclusively. Other newer communities have since appeared. It's often, these newer communities which nave taken on the Tuscan trends that plays foul here.
