The first planned community in Arizona
Bisbee became the “Queen of the Copper Camps” in the early 1900s, attracting thousands of miners to the area. By 1905, the town’s population grew to 10,000, and overcrowding had become an issue. Makeshift shacks packed the hillside, almost on top of one another and linked by shabby wooden stairs. Floods, fires and epidemics were common, and waste littered the narrow streets. Mine managers quickly realized that their workers needed a more suitable place to live, away from the chaos of central Bisbee. With the Mule Mountains to the north and ore deposits directly to the south, the only possible place to expand was a few miles south of town. Thus, Calumet & Arizona Mining Company procured 1,000 acres in the area and started building. It would be the first planned community in Arizona, and it would be named Warren.
Inspired by the City Beautiful movement in Washington, D.C., and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Warren was built around budget-friendly housing and recreation opportunities. To some extent, those tenets have continued into the present. Most of Warren’s homes sell below Arizona’s median sale price, and its green spaces continue to capitalize on the area’s sunshine. Though the community’s size has roughly stayed the same, more people have moved here in recent years. “I called it the migration of 2020,” says Realtor Sam Franko with Keller Williams Southern Arizona, whose brokerage sells about 80 homes in the region annually. “During the pandemic, people started leaving California in droves for cooler weather and lower prices in southern Arizona. The real estate market boomed. It’s still booming. Warren and other parts of Bisbee are slowly being renovated, and there are a lot of new faces taking care of old buildings.”
The lavender waste pit near Warren was the last mining location of Old Bisbee.
The price of Warren homes usually goes between $240,000 to $470,000.

Nationally recognized Craftsman bungalows
Warren’s Craftsman bungalows represent an architectural turn, brought on by the City Beautiful movement of the 1900s. Different from the cheaply built, quickly constructed shacks in Old Bisbee, these homes were built with brick and other sturdy materials, and they emphasized style. That focus persists in the present day; greens, blues and reds accent earth-toned facades, and well-groomed landscaping fills yards. Older homes have landed on the National Register of Historic Places, though some were built later in the ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s; the Bisbee Woman’s Club sponsors a walking tour of the historic homes every November. Because they’re more than 100 years old, some homes need more renovations than others, and fixer-uppers range from $40,000 to $220,000. More updated properties are priced between $240,000 and $470,000, and they usually have additional square footage. The average lot size is around a quarter acre, and they’re mostly on flat ground. On the neighborhood’s outskirts, elevated lots can have views of the town and surrounding hills. Northernmost homes are closest to waste from the Lavender Pit, Bisbee’s final mining operation. The neighborhood’s CAP Index Crime Score is 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.

Historic recreation at Vista Park and Warren Ballpark
When Calumet & Arizona Mining Company built Warren, they planned a park that would stretch a half-mile through the neighborhood’s center. Vista Park is the realization of that plan, and it’s been around since 1911. It has four tennis courts, a sand volleyball area and a playground, and it hosts craft and produce vendors year-round with the Bisbee Saturday Market. Warren Ballpark had its first game in 1909, and ever since, it’s been the longest continuously running baseball stadium in the country. It was originally built as an attraction to increase train ridership, back when the Warren-Bisbee Railway was first constructed. Now it hosts the Copper City Classic in April; players compete in a round robin tournament, donning retro wool pants and metal-spiked cleats. The Mule Mountains are just north of the neighborhood for hiking and mountain biking.

Close to Bisbee Unified Schools
As opposed to students in neighboring communities, students in Warren don’t have much of a commute. Greenway Elementary is on the neighborhood’s north side; it serves kindergarten through fifth grade and gets a B-minus from Niche. About a mile north of this campus, Lowell Junior High scores a C. Bisbee High is on the neighborhood’s west side and earns a C-plus. Its baseball team won its sixth state championship in 2024.
Neighborhood restaurants The Copper Pig and Mornings Cafe
Shops and restaurants are more prevalent in Old Bisbee — but so are the tourists. Warren’s businesses get more local traffic, and they’re within a mile of most homes. The Copper Pig specializes in upscale comfort food, with an intimate setting and white tablecloths. It opened in 2022, so it’s relatively new to the scene. Mornings Café is right next door, serving breakfast and lunch since 2008. “Everything here is made with love,” says Miguel Meneses, who started as a dishwasher here in 2012. In addition to being both a server and cook, he now owns the place. “We don’t do cheap ingredients, and everything we buy is top shelf. My favorite is the country fried steak because it’s really filling. I mean, it’s steak, so you gotta love it.” Sorted Past Antiques & Oddities has everything from hand-painted furniture to old movie projectors; Your Thrift Store has a similarly eccentric collection, in addition to a mural of a sock monkey riding a boar. Warren has a Conoco gas station, but the nearest grocer, Safeway, is about 3 miles west of town.
The Copper Pig is a popular restaurant among the locals of Warren.

Mariachi bands and parades in Warren
Old Bisbee hosts many events throughout the year, but there are a few in Warren itself. Organized by the Bisbee Rotary Club, the 4th of July Parade travels through most of the neighborhood and ends with fireworks at Warren Ballpark. The stadium holds the Bisbee Mariachi Festival every November, when local bands and folklorico dancers come out to celebrate. Food and drink vendors cover the park’s lawn, and funds help the Bisbee Coalition for the Homeless and the Bisbee Mining & Historical Museum.
Bisbee Road and nearby state routes
With few sidewalks and high summer temperatures, walking around Warren can be difficult. Driving is most common, as neighboring towns are miles away. Bisbee Road connects north to state Routes 80 and 92, and these highways go across the Chihuahuan Desert. Tombstone is about 25 miles north of Warren, and Tucson International Airport is about 100 miles northwest. The U.S.-Mexico Border is about 10 miles south, and residents often cross into Naco, Sonora, for the dentist or other services. However, Bisbee Pharmacy is central in Warren, and Copper Queen Community Hospital is on the community’s north side. Bisbee Municipal Airport is just south, but it’s rarely used. An alternative to driving, Bisbee’s bus system operates Monday through Saturday and travels through Warren.
Warren is connected by highways to Old Bisbee and other nearby towns.
The Warren neighborhood is a tight-knit community in the vast Arizona desert.
