La Hacienda

Bounded by 3rd St. and 7th St., along Verde Lane and Catalina Drive

This small district with homes dating from 1927 was originally developed as a posh alternative to the more expensive Phoenix Country Club homes across the street. Many of the homes were even designed by the same architect who designed almost half of the homes in the Country Club Place, Herbert Green. Thus, if you are looking for fabulous architecture including Period Revival, Spanish Revival and Early Transitional Ranch, mature landscaping and larger homes, you will find it here.
