Goodyear’s first residential community
Located about 18 miles from downtown Phoenix, Historic Goodyear is popular for its proximity to parks, shopping centers and Interstate 10. The city of Goodyear was named for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, which built an aircraft plant here during World War II; in the early 1940s, Historic Goodyear became the city's first residential development, designed to house the plant's employees. Today, the Goodyear plant is long gone, and Historic Goodyear is bordered on the west by distribution centers for Amazon and Chewy, two of the area's major employers. Interstate 10 is about a mile north, and the neighborhood is within 3 miles of shopping centers—including the still-developing Goodyear Civic Square—and the 86-acre Goodyear Recreation Campus and Goodyear Ballpark. Area houses of worship include St. John Vianney Catholic Church and Goodyear Church of Christ.
Midcentury ranch-style homes with personal touches
Most of Goodyear’s midcentury ranch-style homes have earth-toned brick or stucco exteriors that complement the surrounding desert landscape, but personal touches like brightly colored trim, driveway basketball hoops and various styles of cinder block fencing give each home its own personality. Yards vary widely too, from manicured lawns with medium-sized trees to yards landscaped with cacti and other low-water plants. The homes here were built from the 1940s through the ‘60s, and prices, which range from $300,000 to $370,000, are usually determined by renovation status. “Most of the owners are original owners,” says Nancy Montano Bran, a Realtor with Homesmart who’s sold homes here for two years, “so some older properties aren’t as updated.” In the center of the neighborhood, the gated Park Shadows apartment complex sits on 38 acres, offering one- to three-bedroom rental units in single-level buildings.

Free swimming at Goodyear Community Pool
Loma Linda Park is the neighborhood’s largest park, featuring 8 acres of green space with shaded playgrounds and tennis courts. “It’s very clean and has nice curb appeal,” Bran says. “You see kids running around and people exercising.” From April through October, families can cool off for free at Loma Linda Pool, which is adjacent to the Goodyear Community Center, a public space that hosts senior art classes and can be reserved for birthday parties.The 86-acre Goodyear Recreation Campus, located about 3 miles west, is the center of outdoor activities in the city. The 30-acre community park’s playground and sports fields are open to the public, but locals have to purchase a pass to take advantage of its aquatics and recreation centers. Youth and adult classes and clubs here include the Goodyear Youth Flag Football League and the Goodyear Stitchers, a club for knitters and sewists. About 5 miles south of Historic Goodyear, the nearly 20,000-acre Estrella Mountain Regional Park offers over 33 miles of hiking trails through the Sonoran Desert.

About a mile from Interstate 10
Interstate 10 is about a mile north, leading roughly 6 miles east to Loop 101 and 19 miles to downtown Phoenix. While there’s no public transportation here, bike lanes and sidewalks make the area friendly for cyclists and pedestrians. Mountain Park Health Center, which offers primary care services, is in the neighborhood’s north, and Abrazo West Campus, which has a Level 1 Trauma center, is around 3 miles north. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is 22 miles east, while the Phoenix Goodyear Airport, a general aviation airport that mainly serves as a reliever and maintenance airport for Sky Harbor, is under 2 miles southwest; the neighborhood is in its flight path. “It’s not a high-traffic airport, but there’s still some noise,” Bran says. “It’s not frequent, and it’s not very loud.”
