Diverse Yuma neighborhood bordering dining and recreation amenities
Townsend is a diverse Yuma neighborhood a few minutes from the city’s historic downtown. The diversity is apparent through the mom-and-pop Hispanic eateries lining West Eighth Street and institutions like the Spanish Mission landmark housing the Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission Church. Additionally, many here live a stone’s throw away from amenities like the Yuma Main Canal bike path and the multi-purpose Carver Park, which often sees excited visitors spending warm afternoons at its tropical- and marine-themed splash pad. “It’s a small, quiet community,” says Louis Martinez, manager of five mobile home parks, including the Townsend-based Magnolia Mobile Home Park. “It’s easy living and easy people to live with. Not too much drama going on. I’m happy right where I’m at. I’m like a little clam. I’m just happy in my little clam.”
Spanish, Pueblo homes and condos with privacy
Fencing and gates give homeowners added privacy, while some put up solar panels on their roofs to get utility benefits out of the city’s exceptionally high number of sunny days. Though Yuma’s sunshine is one of its appeals. “I lived in Eugene, Oregon. It’s a gorgeous place to live, but you got to love rain,” Martinez says. “I got tired of it after three years. I was born here, where you get three inches a year.”
Townsend has the Spanish and Pueblo Revival styles common across Arizona, as well as a few ranch-style and Craftsman builds. Single-family homes mainly go from $190,000 to $250,000. There are also some condos, which can run from $150,000 to $200,000, depending on condition.
With stucco finishes and tile roofs, Townsend’s homes showcase classic Spanish and Pueblo designs.
Condos in Townsend offer low-maintenance living at accessible prices between $150,000 and $200,000.

Numerous Hispanic cuisine options along West Eighth
The diverse options along West Eighth include the casual Los Manjares Restaurant, where the indoor decor includes stylish sombreros and prominent Southwest-themed paintings. The property includes a walled patio with hanging lights and more colorful decor. Asadero Los Compadres serves street fare out of a food truck. More options, along with a Food City grocery store, exist farther east and include The Best Taquito — or El Buen Taquito — and Juanita’s Tacos y Mariscos. Ocean-themed murals surround Juanita’s, which also offers an outdoor dining pavilion. “Great shrimp tacos. Highly recommended shrimp tacos,” Martinez says about Juanita’s. “Those are my frequent places where I hang out.”
Townsend locals love Los Manjares Restaurant for its homestyle Mexican dishes and warm atmosphere.
Townsend residents head to The Best Taquito for no-frills comfort food and consistently tasty tacos.

A few blocks north, Latino Americano and Joe Henry Memorial parks offer nearby spots to relax and put on picnics and cookouts.

Celebrating tacos and Christmas in downtown Yuma
The neighborhood isn’t far from downtown Yuma’s major events. They include the annual Tacos and Tunes in October, where many enjoy the event’s signature fare as bands keep the crowd entertained. The event even features a michelada contest. There’s also the Downtown Christmas celebration in early December. The event involves photos with Santa and culminates in the lighting up of the Christmas tree.
West Third connection to downtown
The Yuma County Area Transit has several bus stops in the neighborhood for residents needing alternative transportation. The West Third Street thoroughfare goes to Yuma’s historic downtown less than 2 miles east, while nearby Interstate 8 takes travelers to California. The Yuma International Airport is about 6 miles south. Although the airport does handle commercial flights, they only consist of American Airlines trips between Yuma, Phoenix and the Dallas-Forth Worth area. Located about 4 miles south, the Onvida Health Yuma Medical Center is the nearest hospital.
