What it's like to live in Evergreen Historic District

Located just north of Downtown Mesa, the Evergreen Historic District blends historic charm with everyday convenience. Buyers are often drawn to the area's character-filled homes and larger-than-average yards. Residents enjoy easy access to museums and attractions like Hohokam Stadium and the Mesa Country Club. With light rail stations and Loop 202 nearby, you also stay well connected to Tempe, Phoenix and other parts of the valley.

Older Mesa homes with character and spacious yards

Apartments make up a substantial portion of the housing stock, but you'll also find single-family homes dating to the early-to-mid 20th century. Lot sizes tend to be fairly spacious, tracing back to when this part of Mesa was platted as mini farms, and several properties still carry flood irrigation rights. Homes typically sell between the low $300,000s and upper $600,000s. A smaller number of townhouses are available as well, and they generally sell in the $200,000s.

Despite the generous lots, “most of the homes will be smaller than your traditional single-family home, but some have been added onto,” says Aaron Carlson, Realtor with Real Broker, LLC. Craftsman cottages and midcentury ranch-style houses are common, many with less than 1,500 square feet of living space. Wood floors and mature landscaping give them a sense of character that newer builds often lack. “Some of them have been really well maintained and look absolutely stunning,” Carlson says.

  • Hohokam Stadium, the spring training home of the Athletics
  • Kino Aquatic Center, which hosts swimming lessons and water polo leagues

Where to eat and shop near the Evergreen Historic District

You'll find a handful of locally owned businesses along Country Club Drive, including Tortilleria Y Carniceria Linda, which sells fresh tortillas and Mexican pastries. You can also stop by the Freeman Corn Patch for seasonal produce grown on the farm just east of the neighborhood. For a wider selection, residents often head downtown, where “there are some cute little coffee shops and breweries,” Carlson says. Another nearby destination is Mesa Riverview, a large shopping center with popular fast-food and retail chains, such as Bass Pro Shops and In-N-Out Burger.

Commuting to Tempe or Phoenix

Valley Metro buses make stops in and around the community, and there are light rail stations about a mile south, but most residents rely on cars to get around. Country Club Drive provides direct access to Loop 202, making it easy to reach destinations across the Greater Phoenix area. From here, Downtown Phoenix is just over 15 miles away, and the drive typically takes 25 to 40 minutes. Downtown Tempe is less than 10 miles away, and commute times often range from 15 to 25 minutes, depending on traffic.

School choices for Evergreen Historic District families

Families are served by Mesa Public Schools. Some kids go to the Eisenhower Center for Innovation, which partners with Arizona State University Gammage to produce an annual student musical. Older students can attend Westwood High School, an International Baccalaureate World School with a B-plus rating from Niche. The nearby Heritage Academy Mesa is an A-rated charter option for middle and high school students.

Enjoying spring training and Mesa Amphitheatre concerts

While the community itself stays relatively calm throughout the year, there’s plenty happening nearby. In February and March, Major League Baseball fans from around the country come to watch the Athletics play at Hohokam Stadium. Concerts and events take place just south of the neighborhood at the Mesa Amphitheatre and Mesa Convention Center. With downtown close by, it’s also easy to enjoy festivals like Merry Main Street and CycloMesa.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.
