This home is located within the southern section of the Holdeman Neighborhood which was built by Siesta Homes in the late 1950s as the first phase of the neighborhood. One of the most unique qualities about the Holdeman Neighborhood is that it features more cul-de-sacs than any other neighborhood in Tempe 85281. The neighborhood was skillfully designed to include many sidewinding streets to discourage traffic and keep the neighborhood quiet and peaceful. In addition, Siesta Homes originally offered 36 exterior design concepts to give each home a unique and custom look. Many of the homes still feature the exterior exposed block or bricks, steep gable hoods over the windows with scrolled fascia board, and the original diamond pane windows. These qualities personify the "Mid-Century Modern" theme that is becoming ever more popular these days.

The Holdeman Neighborhood is part of the greater NW Tempe Neighborhoods Heritage District. The neighborhoods within this area have enjoyed a resurgence in recent years as owning an authentic mid-century ranch home coupled with the close proximity to Downtown Tempe has become increasingly desirable. Moreover, the newly redesigned Hardy Drive and University Drive streetscape projects that were completed in 2015 have really transformed the area. There have been further talks about a potential future streetscape project for Broadway Road, between Priest Drive and Mill Ave. As outlined in the Tempe Transportation Masterplan, the Broadway Road corridor could one day undergo a major restoration. This may include new bike lanes, larger sidewalks, more shade trees, and new street medians with public art. Such a project could encourage future developments along Broadway Road which would be a welcomed benefit to the community. All in all, the Holdeman Neighborhood is shaping up to be one of the most desirable locations in all of Tempe!
