MIDTOWN PHOENIX
The character of Midtowns historic, residential neighborhoods can be seen instantly and creates a unique sense of place and community.
Midtown Phoenix is a slice of the Central Corridor generally considered to be from Thomas Road to Campbell Avenue, from 7th Street to 7th Avenue, now colloquially called “between the 7s.”
Notable historic districts in this area include La Hacienda, Ashland Place, Pierson Place, and Yaple Park. Historic homes built as early as the 1920's can be found scattered through the community with styles ranging from ranch homes to adobe homes to Spanish colonial design.
The mid-century design flair can be easily detected in the different type of properties through the aesthetics of balconies, materials used such as stone veneer, and large glass windows.
The Midtown area contains a blend of:
Single-Family residential homes
Mid-century condo towers
Two-story apartments/condos
