Sunnyslope started its history as an area for people who suffered from tuberculosis and other related stuff.  This was not a place you wanted to visit or live in if you were not part of the above group.  For a long time it could not shake off this reputation of a rundown neighborhood where only the bad element would live.

In the 90’s this changed.  It was part the location, part the prices and a big part the citizens and groups that were part of the change of Sunnyslope from a place to stay away to a place to be.

The location is almost ideal.  If it were not for all the older properties, small lots and so much more work that needs to be done, this would be and probably will be the place to live.  Not only is it close to hiking trails with beautiful mountains views, its also close to city center with a straight ride down 7th St., down the Central Corridor or 7th Ave.  All these major arteries will take you right into downtown Phoenix and anywhere else you want to go.

The prices for a long time were a steal.  It took some brave people with vision to start buying properties.  Some of these have been remodeled while keeping their historic and local look, while other properties have been completely rebuilt. 

Drive straight up Central Ave and you will see new condos and houses clinging to the side of North Mountain, gated communities, the Point and beautiful hidden areas, such a gathering of contemporary homes in Sunnyslope West or The Cliffs at Pointe Tapatio.  You can still buy properties for reasonable prices and make wonderful homes from them.  Unless you are in specific gated communities, a Tuscan house will not fit in, and not many would welcome it either.  This neighborhood has a character and it should not involve any quasi Tuscan influences. 

In Sunnyslope you will find people of all types, from lawyers, stock brokers, architects and artists.  Sunnyslope High School, a distinguished schools has well over 20 languages spoken there. 

Many of the schools have been torn down and rebuilt.  As I mentioned above, Sunnyslope High School is one of the best in the state.  There are people that move specifically to Sunnyslope so that their children can go to these schools.  The Schools, a major hospital, the John C. Lincoln hospital, and the unique character are all drawing in new people into the area. 

Shopping and Dining.

Though Sunnyslope does not offer any major restaurants, it's improving.  Drive down Central and you’ll see new places springing up to serve the savvy clientèle, then you have the Pointe Tapatio  Cliffs and several other local restaurants.  While there is no major shopping place in Sunnyslope, the proximity location makes it close to places like the Biltmore.

This is a great place for real estate.  There is a lot of money flooding into Sunnyslope, even into the worst areas on the West side are seeing new developments like condos and new apartment communities.  You can pick up real estate like condos, houses and multifamily in most price ranges from the affordable to the luxury. 

As the Phoenix population doubles over the next 20 or so years, you will definitely see growth in values here.

Whether to live in or as an investment Sunnyslope offers a lot that other newer communities just don’t have.  The opportunities and character, a culture and history are all here, and it will only get better.
