Alvarado Historic District Homes for Rent

Just north of Downtown Phoenix in Midtown, the Alvarado Historic District is a hub for the arts and is home to some of the city’s most influential museums. “It’s on the edge of Midtown and Downtown, and it’s a beautiful marriage between the two,” says area resident James Judge, a designer and Realtor with HomeSmart International LLC. While the neighborhood offers modern conveniences and attractions, it’s also making an effort to preserve its relatively young collection of historic architecture. “Even though so much of our real estate is newer by comparison to many other historic places in the United States, the city of Phoenix has done an amazing job at focusing on historic preservation to ensure that we are able to maintain and preserve what we do have," Judge says. While the city has continued to develop and expand in recent years with new infrastructure including the addition of the light rail, the Alvarado Historic District has evolved without losing its historic character. “It’s really exciting to see what’s happening with the resurgence of Midtown with transit-oriented development while at the same time respecting and preserving and celebrating the historic districts that
