A mix of old and new in Mesa
Five minutes from downtown Mesa, Park Center Place has an interesting mix of old and new. “The neighborhood has a rich history,” says Marie Van Cleve, a Realtor with One Stop Realty who grew up in the area. “You’ve got some of the older homes, and then north you have the condos built on what used to be farmland.” The homes, their relative affordability compared to surrounding areas, and the proximity to downtown Mesa make Park Center Place attractive to potential homebuyers.

Modern condo conveniences and older renovated homes
With Fitch Park at the center of the neighborhood, the character of each side of the neighborhood differs. South of the park, small single-family ranch homes are the most prevalent, many of them built in the 1930s. Blending into the desert landscape, these refurbished houses generally go for up to $400,000. Spanish-style apartments and condominium developments such as Park Centre Casitas make up the housing on the north side of the neighborhood. For a condo, prices start in the mid-$200,000s.
Park Center Place boasts a welcoming atmosphere with its friendly neighborhood homes.

Plenty of shopping and dining in downtown Mesa
As a mainly residential neighborhood, Park Center Place doesn’t have much in the way of shopping or dining. In the northeast corner of the neighborhood, residents can buy groceries at Food City. Next door is Maya New York Pizza Bar & Grill, which hosts karaoke nights for locals. However, the neighborhood is just minutes from downtown Mesa. “Living here, you go to downtown Mesa for most things since you’re so close,” Van Cleve says. “I love Mangos Mexican Cafe, they’ve got great tacos.”

Year-round community events

Holiday celebrations dot the calendar, but the biggest event in downtown Mesa is the New Year’s celebration, with a street festival and fireworks.
