North Central Phoenix is an active and outdoorsy community
North Central Phoenix draws home buyers to more than just its scenery, parks and location close to Phoenix, Glendale and Scottsdale. It tends to draw sports enthusiasts. “If you’re a golfer, you’ll think you’ve landed in Heaven,” says James Balko, Realtor with Century 21 Arizona Foothills, and long-time resident of Phoenix. “For example, The Waste Management Phoenix Open, is held annually at nearby TPC Scottsdale. It’s one of the most well-attended golf tournaments in the world and it’s a huge draw to this area. There are also public and private golf clubs in every direction, all with spectacular views, of course.” Hikers, bicyclists, boaters and fishing enthusiasts will devour venues at numerous local parks. Phoenix is also one of only a few cities in the U.S. to host MLB, NHL, NFL, and NBA teams.

Townhouses and single-family homes dominate the market
North Central Phoenix is a well-designed and carefully landscaped suburban neighborhood. Homes feature stucco siding and Mediterranean-influenced roofs. Yards may have grass or neutral-colored rocks with topiary trees. “If they’re priced right homes sell pretty quickly in North Central Phoenix. As of fall 2023, that’s about 60 days. Homes here are in great condition most of the time and that helps both the seller and the buyer get what they want,” Balko says. Homeseekers will find move-in ready homes with an in-ground pool for around $500,000. Buyers can find two-bedroom townhomes for around $320,000. With so much to pull buyers to the area, it’s worth noting that brand-new homes are uncommon in the neighborhood. “Affordability is a key driver in North Central Phoenix. Smart sellers update or renovate homes nicely before they hit the market. But there are very few completely new homes here," Balko says.
