Phoenix Historic Districts

Phoenix is home to 35 unique historic districts, where you can find everything from charming cottages to stunning estate homes over $2 million. These neighborhoods stretch roughly from 19th Avenue east to State Route 51, and from just south of I-10 north to Osborn Road.

While Phoenix may be a young city (Arizona celebrated its Centennial in 2012), its historic neighborhoods are filled with homes built between the 1920s and late 1940s—each with personality you simply can't find in today's cookie-cutter communities. Think storybook Tudors, classic Bungalows, romantic Spanish Colonials, elegant Mediterranean homes, and cozy Cottages, all rich with architectural character and timeless charm.

The appeal is universal. Whether you're relocating from Chicago or New York and craving a walkable, urban vibe, a first-time buyer searching for a home with soul, an empty nester ready to simplify without sacrificing character, or a growing family looking for that nostalgic "Mayberry" feel, Phoenix's historic neighborhoods offer a place to belong.

And the neighborhoods just keep getting better. Since 2000, downtown Phoenix has experienced an incredible renaissance, with stylish lofts and condos, award-winning restaurants, local coffee shops, art galleries, entertainment venues, and the Valley Metro Light Rail connecting you to many of the city's most popular destinations. Historic charm and modern convenience—it's the best of both worlds.
