Transportation and commuting from Midtown Phoenix
Most properties come with driveways or carports, though cars are often parked along residential streets as well. “There’s quite a bit of on-street, meter parking,” says Nancy Cotton , an associate broker with Fathom Realty Elite and co-owner of The Cotton Team. “Some restaurants have small lots or valet parking.” Residents can reach downtown—between 3 and 4 miles away — in about 15 minutes. Before they reach the center of the city, they will pass over Interstate 10, which leads in and out of Phoenix. Otherwise, five different Valley Metro bus lines service Midtown’s larger thoroughfares. The Valley Metro Rail B Line runs along Central Avenue through Midtown, passing downtown Phoenix on its way from South Mountain to North Mountain Village . In terms of employers, St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center is at the corner of Thomas Road and 7th Avenue, and a few office buildings are scattered throughout the neighborhood as well.

Bike paths are designated along the right side of some of Midtown’s major thoroughfares, and most streets have sidewalks, meaning trips to a favorite coffee shop or a quick grocery run are possible on foot. Residents can reach one end of the neighborhood from the other in about 40 minutes, passing numerous eateries and other amenities in between.
