Living In Historical Homes In Urban Phoenix

By Artur Ciesielski


Although not as old as many parts of the country, the central area of Phoenix has many examples of historic houses that vary from Victorian estates to houses and ranch houses. As settlers discovered the advantages of living in a warm, dry climate, more folk arrived from the East and built houses that mirrored both the period and their new desert lifestyle. Many of those historic Phoenix homes still exist in the central section of Phoenix and are a favored choice for house buyers. Living in a history filled home in urban Phoenix appeals to lofts of singles, couples, seniors and young families who appreciate the ambiance of a distinct residence and enjoy close access to city conveniences.

Historical Districts in Central Phoenix

The Roosevelt District of Phoenix has some of the oldest houses in the city and is now a diversified mixture of early Craftsman style design, bungalows and more recent condominiums. The boundaries of the Roosevelt area are typically considered to run from McDowell to Truck Buren and Central to 7th Avenue. Life in the Roosevelt District offers a short walk to theatres, shops and eateries and is highlighted by the numerous events happening downtown including the First Fridays Art Walk, music concerts and out of doors festivals.

Located between 7th and 15th Avenues and McDowell to Encanto, the Encanto Palmcroft homes feature particular character that continues to make an appeal to a variety of house purchasers. Casually called the Revival District thanks to the unique design, life in one of the stately houses in this area offers a high end standing. Home tours are held in March and the area is one of the most scenic in central Phoenix. Living in the Encanto area offers close access to a huge town park that features lakes, tennis courts and walking paths.

Other favourite historical districts include F.Q. Story, Coronado, Medlock Place and Willo among others; each neighborhood has its own special personality and charm.

Advantages of Living in a Phoenix Consequential Home

Living in urban historic Phoenix houses provides a unique ambiance that differs significantly from the ordinary tract or "cookie-cutter" style places that ovewhelm other sections of Phoenix. beguiling design mixed with bigger lots and spitting distance to downtown attractions are bringing residents back to older districts. Modern upgrades such as granite countertops, up-to-the-minute appliances and new flooring make these homes highly desirable. Houses that've been lovingly restored will always maintain their value and can supply a completely unique lifestyle that provides a crossover between the nostalgia of the past and the conveniences of the present.

What Should be Expected When Living in a Ground-breaking Home

Living in an unprecedented home could be a special experience but there are a few issues to think about before moving in. Restored houses usually feature new electrical and plumbing systems but older properties may not. Lots of the central Phoenix properties have been upgraded with new air conditioning systems and better insulation but it is often a good idea to study the state of the house before committing to a sale or lease.
