3rd Ave Palms, Mid-Town Phoenix

3rd Ave Palms, located just north of Osborn on 3rd Ave, is steps from the activity on Central Ave and the Light Rail. 3rd Avenue Palms was designed for comfort, convenience and value. You’re close to all the must-haves of a thriving, revitalized downtown: shopping, dining, nightlife and the central business district. And, just a Light Rails ride from Downtown Sporting Events and Tempe Mill Ave and ASU.  The community is tucked away between 2nd and 3rd Ave's so it's off the beaten path but just a few steps.
There are 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units and all have a single car garage.  Kitchen's are nice, not real big but big enough for the Urban lifestyle.  Many units have fireplaces which most people put candels in for low flickering light in the evening.  Some have views of Downtown and the mountains, depending on the location in the commuinty.  Other amenities include Community Pool and Spa and a work out room.

Bridgeview at Tempe Townlake


Tempe Townlake has been a big success for Tempe and the Valley.  Although it's a bit smaller than the lakes that surround the Valley, it's a nice body of water to have in town.  A few office buildings and condo high rises have been built along the lake, once the economy picks up more, I'm sure we'll see more construction.  In the meantime, Brideview at Tempe Townlake is not only one of the most luxury condo communities along the lake, it's one of the best in the Valley.  The units have great views of the lake as well as many amenities for fine living.
Bridgeview waterfront condos has two towers, a 12 story tower on the south and a 7 story tower on the north. Upgraded quality construction includes triple-pane windows, no common walls and seven and a half inches of concrete between the floors with post tension construction. Amenities in this community include 24/7 personal lobby service, on-site fitness center, indoor wet and dry sauna, business center, theatre room, and a billiards room. Tempe Town Lake is close to Sky Harbor Airport which is another reason for the triple pane windows which keeps the sound out and the cool air inside during the summer.
Other communities in Tempe and Tempe Townlake are at AZNativeProperties.com
Tempe Town Lake is a natural gathering spot for many activities in the Phoenix area. Tempe Town Lake is the home of the Ironman Arizona Triathlon in November, a Memorial Day celebration in May, and the Tempe Town Lake Festival on July 4th.

Architectural Styles of Phoenix Historic Districts

Have you ever wondered what a Tudor Revival is?  Maybe the difference between a Craftsman Bungalow and a California Bungalow?  Check out the new page I put on my Historic Districts of Phoenix of Architectural Styles of homes in the Phoenix Historic Districts so while looking at homes, you can educate yourself about what you're looking at.  Older neighborhoods have been getting more and more popular in the last 20 years.  Phoenix, being a relatively young city, doesn't have much built before 1900 and our historic districts are minimum.  The residence are committed to preserve and restore the homes and are created new dynamic neighborhood with 1930's charm. 
Modern neighborhoods with cookie cutter homes are attractive but lack the individual interests and personalities of the residence.  Added to that is the expense and time-consuming commute and pollution causes many to reconsider the benefits of living close to the urban center which earlier in the city's history offered skilled craftsmanship and distinctive architectural styles that were abandoned years ago.

These neighborhoods and residence reflect individual interests and presonalities.  Residence enjoy the history of Phoenix through expression in their homes.  Many are remodeled interiors but the homes retains their original design and architecture.  All you need is some 1930's cars on the street and you could step back in time on some streets.  Enjoy the Historic Districts of Phoenix on www.AZNativeProperties.com then take a drive or join the district when they have their home tour and see the beauty inside the house.

Alvarado Historic District

The Alvarado Historic District is just east of Central Ave between Thomas and McDowell.  Walking distance to the Light Rail and close to the freeways, it's a great Urban neighborhood in Downtown Phoenix.

Built between 1907 and 1933 Alvarado Historic District features Period Revival architectural styles including Spanish and American Colonial, Elizabethan/Tudor and Georgian.
This small community is a great example of what Historic Phoenix has to offer with the wide range of architectural styles.  You'll find larger homes in Alvarado but they have some Early Ranch style homes too.  If you're looking for something smaller, you might look at Ashland Place Historic District or Coronado Historic District.  Both of these historic districts have a large range of architectural styles too.
