Willo/Roosevelt: 85003
Willo/Roosevelt is named after two of downtown Phoenix’s most popular historic districts. Look for Tudor and bungalow-style houses with big porches and newer urban condos intermixed beautifully together. Offices and restaurants are here, too.
Downtown: 85004
Downtown is having a housing boom with many new condo and apartment projects going up. ASU’s downtown campus and University of Arizona’s Phoenix medical school can be found here as well as student housing. The area draws big crowds for jobs, conventions, professional baseball and basketball games and cool cultural events, including First Fridays. But on weeknights when there isn’t a big sporting event, the business district can clear out after work.
Coronado: 85006
Coronado is named after the historic neighborhood on the east end of the Downtown Phoenix area. Coronado has eclectic Spanish-style and bungalow houses. Seventh Street runs along the west side of this neighborhood and is a popular local restaurant hub. Pockets of this area are still waiting to be revitalized.
Encanto/F.Q. Story: 85007
Encanto/F.Q. Story is home to some of Downtown Phoenix’s biggest and oldest historic houses. The Encanto/Palmcroft section has million-dollar mansions on its palm-lined streets. F.Q. Story has more affordable bungalows. Other smaller historic neighborhoods can also be found in this area.
