Downtown Phoenix Houses for Sale

Unlike many cities that developed around an urban core, Phoenix primarily attracted homebuyers to its suburban fringes well into the 1980s. The downtown area, as we know it today, only began taking shape as a dense, walkable place following the introduction of the light rail and Arizona State University in the early 2000s. Now, Downtown Phoenix flaunts all the trappings of a thriving city center, including an eclectic dining scene with over 200 restaurants, sports arenas, music venues, rooftop lounges, museums, theaters and art galleries. "And it's all [fresh] because it's been [revitalized]," says Tim Cusick, an associate broker with Homelogic Real Estate, who has sold homes for more than 20 years. Romero says people are surprised by the amount of green in downtown Phoenix, with palm trees springing from the most urban corridors. Residential options include high-rise condos, historic single-family homes and townhouses. Vintage homes are Craftsman style, but some are inspired by adobe architecture. Prices vary from the $600,000s to over $1 million for large homes, to the $200,000s to $500,000s for small homes. Condos typically range from the low $300,000s to the low $700,000s,
