Search Historic Phoenix Homes
Nestled in and around the Downtown and Central Phoenix areas lie a variety of Historic Districts, each with their own unique style and appeal. Vintage Homes range from charming 800 square foot Bungalows to luxurious Spanish Colonials sprawling over 5000 square feet. These "one-of-a-kind" properties beg to be lived in, loved and cherished. Some sport panoramic views of downtown or Central Avenue high rises… Others sit quietly on a block of mature trees, flowers and solitude … All of these homes make up an area with distinctively different architecture and most importantly , a sense of place and belonging.
To own a home that looks like nothing else in the neighborhood. To select an exterior paint that doesn’t dress another home on the block, but fits yours like a fine suit. To sit on your front porch and watch the evolution of an area is inestimable. These are the Historic neighborhoods where most know your name and share in a closeness not achieved elsewhere in the city. These are areas to take PRIDE in, to covet, to enhance with your own special ideas.
