Suburban living near shopping, dining and parks
Set 2 miles south of downtown Yuma, the Avenues is a suburban community near local parks and schools, and bordered east by commercial South 4th Avenue. “We have lots of stores and grocery shopping near here," says Valerie Lloyd, a Realtor with Keller William Realty and a Yuma local. "And you’re going to find a lot of older homes that were built in the '40s, '50s and '60s." According to Enrique Rascon, a Realtor with Exit Realty Yuma who has over 10 years of experience, these older homes allowed for larger lots than those in nearby neighborhoods. Pedestrian-friendly residential streets are laid out on a grid and lined with sidewalks, and Yuma County Area Transit buses stop along South 4th Avenue. Area houses of worship include Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witness, Calvary Lutheran Church and Harvest Presbyterian Church.

Single-family homes on spacious lots
Set along sidewalk-lined streets dotted with low-water plantings, Avenues’ single-family homes are mostly midcentury ranch-style, with the occasional midcentury Pueblo-inspired house; their dirt- or gravel-packed lots range from 7,000 to 12,000 square feet. "The bigger lots drive buyers here,” Rascon says. Most of these homes have three or four bedrooms, and carports with paved driveways; some have private pools or covered patios. According to Rascon, the area is also popular with investors who buy properties, remodel them, and flip them to buyers seeking move-in ready homes. Prices here range from $200,000 to $350,000, depending on lot size and renovations.

Imagination at Roxaboxen Park
About a quarter-mile east, Roxaboxen Park is named after Alice McLerran’s book “Roxaboxen," inspired by the author’s mother’s experience growing up in Yuma during the early 1900s. The park is intentionally minimal by design, to encourage children’s imagination; park visitors often leave behind painted rocks from their hometown or state. About a mile northwest, the 18-acre Carver Park is popular for its accessible pedestrian paths, heated pool, and courts for tennis, bocce and basketball. Lloyd recommends West Wetlands Park, two miles north. “It’s a beautiful park, and actually connects to Gateway Park. You can walk or ride your bike all the way from Gateway through West Wetlands.”

Less than a mile east, Green Trees Grocery Outlet offers discounted groceries and fresh produce. About two miles north, downtown Yuma is popular for its eclectic shopping and dining.
