Historic charm and proximity to downtown Phoenix in Encanto-Palmcroft
Just north of downtown Phoenix, Encanto-Palmcroft is known for its historic architecture, palm-lined streets and the expansive Encanto Park. The neighborhood offers easy access to shops, restaurants and event spaces and is less than 3 miles from downtown. “Encanto-Palmcroft is one of the top historic districts in Phoenix,” says Sherry Rampy, an Associate Broker with Brokers Hub Realty. “People are really drawn to the area for its suburban feel and proximity to Encanto Park. You’re just a few minutes from downtown, but it feels like you’re miles away. Historically, it has been a popular community among lawyers and government employees because it’s close to the courthouse and city legislative buildings.”

Mediterranean architecture and a diverse housing market
Homes within the Encanto-Palmcroft Historic District date back to before World War II, with Mediterranean architectural influences like tile roofing, stucco facades and arched entryways. Low-water-use landscaping is common throughout the area due to Phoenix’s arid climate, and backyard swimming pools are common. “The neighborhood is unique in that it doesn’t have grid-system streets like the rest of the city,” says Rampy. “Just south of the park, homes sit on curved, oval-like streets with yards shaped like slices of pie. It can make it easier to get lost, but it’s such a beautiful part of town to get lost in.” Ranch-style homes and bungalows with around 2,000 square feet or less range from $190,000 to $640,000, while larger builds with updated interiors can go for $680,000 to $2 million, with prices increasing with lot size and square footage. Two- and three-bedroom townhomes on the neighborhood’s west end range from $250,000 to $310,000.

Endless activities in Encanto Park
Encanto Park encompasses over 220 acres of the community and is one of the largest urban parks in Phoenix. “When my daughter was little, we would walk there all the time,” says Rampy. "It’s a great park for families in the area, with kids’ activities and lots of open space. The lagoon is home to a lot of ducks, and you’ll have little families of ducks crossing the street and hanging out in people’s front yards in Encanto-Palmcroft.” The park is complete with sports facilities, a kids' amusement park, a public swimming pool and a lagoon where visitors can rent paddle boats. Anglers can fish the lagoon for trout and catfish. The park is also home to two popular golf courses. Nearby, Margaret T. Hance Park has open field space, paved walking trails and a playground. Additionally, the park is home to the Japanese Friendship Garden of Phoenix, which has a peaceful koi pond and a tea house.
