Willo Historic District

The Willo Historic District is one of the larger districts in Phoenix and one of the most desirable. 

Located in Mid Town primarily between Thomas Rd and McDowell Rd, 7th Ave and Central Ave.

There are many styles of homes including Early Ranch , Tudor Revival and Spanish Revival.

Most of the nieghborhood was built in the 1920's and 1930's for the middle class families.  This created larger homes then in other historic districts with many having 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Values currently range from the mid $100's to the mid $500's. 

Willo as well as many other historic districts in Metro Phoenix do have annual home tours where they will open 15 or so homes that you can tour and see some wonderful historic homes and some have been updated nicely with more contemporary kitchens and baths.

Once a neighborhood is designated historic the home owners must follow the rules of maintaining the historic significance of the home and the nieghborhood.  There are also matching grants the city gives out each year for homes that qualify. 

 

There are many historic districts in Phoenix with many styles of historic archtecture, square footage and price ranges.
