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.

If you're looking for a historic home in Phoenix, you've realized we don't have a lot of them and most are in Central Phoenix and close to Downtown.  One of the more popular is the Coronado Historic District.  Coronado is located basically from McDowell on the south, Virgina on the north, 7th Street on the west and 14th Street on the east.  This area was originally built for the working class people of early Phoenix and has many homes of many different styles.

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.
