Suburban comfort in central Yuma

The Central Yuma suburb of El Pueblocito is near Route 95, local businesses, and area parks, and within 7 miles of major employers like Yuma Regional Medical Center and Marine Corps Air Station Yuma. Residential streets here are laid out on a grid and lined with mid-to-late 20th-century ranch-style homes on lots that are large for the area. “The houses here are a little bit older," says Diana Arvizu, a local Realtor with Realty Executives Yuma and over 5 years of experience, "but there’s lots of room for unique renovations and adding charm to your home.” Area houses of worship include Yuma First Church of the Nazarene and Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church.

Remodeled single-family homes and DIY projects

“This area was built between the 1960s and 1980s,” says Sam Azar, a local Realtor with Realty Executives Yuma and over 20 years of experience. El Pueblocito’s ranch-style homes are set on lots that range from 9,000 to 11,000 square feet—larger than the average Yuma lot of 6,000 square feet—with either grass lawns or gravel-packed yards. It's common to see basketball hoops perched on concrete driveways, or kids out riding their bikes. Most of these homes have three to five bedrooms and attached carports, and many feature red brick exteriors with hipped or side-gabled roofs. “Typically, your home is going to have a unique layout, so you may run into a completely remodeled home or your next DIY project,” Arvizu says. Modern renovations might include private pools, covered patios and open kitchens with granite countertops. Depending on lot size and renovations, prices range from $200,000 to $350,000. According to Azar, the area is popular with investors looking to purchase and renovate homes in the low $200,000s.
