Tree-lined suburb near downtown Mesa
About 2 miles north of downtown Mesa, the suburban Evergreen Historic District offers early to late 20th-century homes with tree-lined lawns near parks and small businesses around Country Club Drive. “The joy of the Evergreen Historic District is that it has all these delightful homes, like cute cottages and Craftsman-style homes, and there are tall trees, so it’s shady. It feels cooler than the rest of Mesa,” says Dave Johnson, agent and owner of Dave Johnson Realty and a Mesa local. Many homes here sit along sidewalk-lined streets named after the families that initially settled in the area, like Robson and Macdonald. “It’s a hip area for young families. There are some cute little coffee shops and breweries nearby in downtown," says Aaron Carlson, a Realtor with Weichert, Realtors-Home Pro Realty, who has over 10 years of experience. The overall CAP Index Crime Score is 7 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4, and Route 202’s a mile north, for easy access to the Greater Phoenix Area.
Evergreen Historic District is conveniently located near many shops, restaurants and parks.

Craftsman- and ranch-style homes from the 20th century
Evergreen Historic District’s homes were built in the early to late 20th century and are generally ranch- or Craftsman-style with two to four bedrooms. “Some of them have been really well-maintained and look absolutely stunning,” Carlson says. Set along sidewalk-lined and tree-shaded streets, these homes have 1,000 to 2,000 square feet of living space, and most lots range from 6,000 to 12,000 square feet, with manicured lawns. “Most of the homes will be smaller than your traditional single-family home, but some of them have been added on to,” Carlson says. Attached carports are typical, but there are a handful of homes with garages; private pools and covered patios or porches are sought-after features. Prices range from $300,000 to $600,000, depending on a home’s size and renovations, like updated plumbing and remodeled kitchens with granite countertops.
In the neighborhood’s north, two-bedroom townhomes from the late 20th century are a part of Northwood Park, a homeowners association community whose monthly dues of about $300 grant access to a shared pool, spa and clubhouse. These homes typically have about 1,000 square feet of living space and include assigned parking. Prices range from $200,000 to $300,000, depending on size.
The neighborhood's also popular with investors who rent homes out to locals, including seasonal residents like snowbirds—a regional term for someone who moves to a warmer state during the winter. There are also a few apartment complexes around Country Club Drive, including Centennial Village, which offers a low-income housing program where rent is based on 30% of the tenant's adjusted gross income.

Cooling off at Pioneer Park’s splash pad
“Evergreen is a strolling neighborhood where you go walking or riding down the tree-lined streets with the cute houses,” Johnson says. In the neighborhood’s south, Evergreen Park is the local spot for a picnic on the field, a family trip to the playground and a friendly game of basketball or volleyball. About 2 miles southeast, the 18-acre Pioneer Park is one of the most popular parks in the area. “Historically, Pioneer Park used to have a fighter jet and a real train locomotive, and now, it has more modern play equipment,” Johnson says. Pioneer Park offers several playing fields, basketball courts and horseshoe pits, but it’s best known for its treehouse-themed playground and its lighted splash pad with a 15-foot water wall; the latter is especially popular on summer days, when temperatures here regularly top 100 degrees. Fitch Park, which borders Evergreen Historic District to the east, is a spring training facility for the Oakland Athletics, with several baseball diamonds, playgrounds and picnic ramadas (an Arizona term for an open-air shelter).

Spring training and downtown Mesa
In February, baseball fans can watch the Chicago Cubs and Oakland Athletics play spring training games at nearby Sloan Park and Hohokam Stadium, 2 miles east and 2 miles west, respectively. Mesa Hohokams is a local not-for-profit in the neighborhood that raises money for charities through Mesa's spring training games. Next to Hohokam Stadium, Mesa Cemetery is the largest cemetery in the city, established in 1891.
Downtown Mesa is about 2 miles south, where folks can enjoy theatrical performances at the historic Nile Theatre, which was built in 1924. Also downtown, the Mesa Arts Center is a popular venue for concerts and art galleries, and also offers community classes in jewelry-making, fiction writing and other creative pursuits.
Getting around Mesa
Bordering the neighborhood on the west, Country Club Drive is the main local thoroughfare, merging a mile north with Route 202. Downtown Mesa is about 2 miles south via Country Club Drive, and Route 202 loops around the Greater Phoenix Area. Locals typically drive to get around, but it’s not uncommon for folks to walk or ride their bikes around the neighborhood. Valley Metro buses stop along Country Club Drive, and the light rail stops along Main Street, about a mile south. “If you want to take public transportation, this is probably one of the best areas available. The light rail will take you to Tempe and downtown Phoenix,” Carlson says. Banner Desert Medical Center is 6 miles southwest, and Arizona Exotic Animal Hospital is located within the neighborhood, where pets of all kinds can receive medical care. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is 10 miles west.
Neighborhood dining near downtown
Most homes are within a mile or two of small businesses around County Club Drive. Mesa Drummer is a popular sports bar in the neighborhood that’s been an area staple since 1980 for its craft beer selection, comfort food menu and laidback vibe. About a mile east at Fitch Plaza, there's a Food City for groceries, as well as a CVS, Dollar General and Taco Bell.
Downtown Mesa’s about 2 miles south, with lots of local shopping, dining and imbibing. “There’s IPAs and beer as far as the eye can see,” Carlson says, who recommends Cider Corps for a downtown drink. “The guy who started it is in the Marine Corps, so the core of the apple—Marine Corps, you know. They also have an awesome pizza place that operates out of it, called ‘Mike’s Pizza.” Across the street from Cider Corps, folks can enjoy an authentic Venezuelan dinner on the patio at Que Chevere and order pastries, dessert cocktails and breakfast fare from Outcast Doughnuts.
West Brewing is a great spot for a drink with friends near Evergreen Historic District.
