North Encanto is a historic neighborhood with 1940s character
The North Encanto Historic District was developed when Phoenix rapidly grew throughout the 1940s and 1950s. Even as the city around North Encanto has modernized with new shopping, dining and light rail transit, homeowners have continued to preserve the district’s character with careful renovations. “There’s a high demand for people who don’t want the norm,” says Laura Boyajian, a Realtor with HomeSmart Elite Group who has lived in Phoenix for over 40 years and specializes in historic neighborhoods. “It’s amazing how many phone calls I get from people who don’t want an HOA, don’t want cookie cutter.” The neighborhood's south side borders Encanto Park and is close to Phoenix College and downtown, while the north side is a few blocks from the Melrose nightlife district.
The quiet streets of North Encanto are filled with homes mostly built in the 1940s and 1950s.

Transitional ranch-style homes and other historic styles in North Encanto
North Encanto has one of the country's largest collections of “transitional” ranch-style homes. These properties blend traditional ranch features with contemporary details like covered porches, red brick walls and stone chimneys. Tile-roofed Spanish Revival and stucco-covered Pueblo Revival styles, most built in the 1940s and '50s, also fill the neighborhood. The Phoenix Historic Preservation Office requires homeowners to keep the exterior of their properties close to the original look. “Sometimes you drive by and ask, ‘Why is that house purple?’ and that’s because all they can change is the paint, so you get fun, funky colors,” says Amy Kelly, a member of The Jason Mitchell Group who has lived in Arizona for over 45 years. Renovated homes can sell for $300,000 to $700,000, while properties in original condition can be $200,000 to $400,000. In addition to the historic residences that define the neighborhood, there are some modern condos and townhouses near Encanto Park. These units range from $150,000 to $250,000.
