There are always the things you love about where you live, and the things you can do without. Here’s a list of my top reasons why I love
Central Phoenix!
- The Historic Districts. Do I need to say more than “Encanto”? Unique houses, large yards and history to boot! No more having to count which house is yours because you can’t tell the difference between yours and your neighbors.
- Empty Weekends. Central Phoenix may be busy during the weekdays, but have you taken a drive down Central Ave on the weekend? You’ve got the whole City to yourself evenings and weekends!
- The Hip Art Scene. First Fridays in Downtown Phoenix is where it all started! Other suburbs have tried to create their own version, but nothing compares to the original.
- You’re half-way to everywhere in the Valley. Starting in the center reduces your travel time to just about anywhere in the
Phoenix area. - You’re not contributing to Urban Sprawl. Infill is the word and it makes you feel good.

I love where we live in Phoenix! Minutes from everything, old homes with large lots, real sense of neighborhood. The down side is that our house is showing its advanced age and needs some serious TLC! But I’ll keep it over the cookie cutters in a heartbeat!
Can we add “Neighbors who care / Great sense of community”? It’s a lot different from the cookie-cutter suburbs where there can be a whole street of people who don’t know each other – they all drive home from work, drive into their garage, and go inside for the evening.. (not that this is always the case in the suburbs, but it’s almost never the case in the historic districts.)
