One of the most sought-after areas in Phoenix
About 4 miles north of downtown, Uptown Phoenix is desirable for its historic homes and convenient access to shopping, dining and public transportation. “There’s lots of parks, fun restaurants, antique stores and bookstores," says Josiah Miller, a Realtor with Josiah Miller Homes and an area local for over 20 years. "And you have the light rail, so you can pop into downtown pretty quickly.” Uptown Phoenix offers a blend of urban and residential lifestyles, with single-family homes often within a couple of miles of high-rise buildings. “It’s like you’re right on the edge of more residential areas—almost like you’re just leaving the city,” says Tracy Williamson, a Realtor with Hauge Partners-72SOLD, who has over 15 years of experience.
Uptown Phoenix has quick access to the 51 freeway.

Single-family homes with historic character
Set along sidewalk-lined streets, Uptown Phoenix’s single-family homes were built during the early- to mid-20th century. The area between 7th Street and 7th Avenue is especially sought-after, known for its homes with historic charm. “We call it ‘between the sevens,’” Williamson says. “These are known as some of the most attractive areas to eat, live and work.” The neighborhood’s split evenly between owners and renters, and Miller says Uptown Phoenix’s popular with property investors. “Many of the houses have not been renovated yet, so you can catch a premium price. It’s one of the better areas if you are looking to do a flip,” Miller says. Summer temperatures regularly top 100 degrees here, so housing with shared or private pools is especially desirable.
“A lot of Phoenix is newer, like cookie-cutter houses, but some of these houses have some character, which is nice,” Miller says. Many are ranch-style in historic districts, like Windsor Square, where well-maintained grass lawns are dotted with palm and mesquite trees; however, the neighborhood encompasses an eclectic range of architectural styles, like Craftsman bungalows, Spanish-inspired dwellings and the occasional Tudor Revival. Overall, homes here typically have two to four bedrooms, 1,000- to 2,000-square-foot layouts and sit on oversized lots of 7,000 to 17,000 square feet; street parking or attached carports are typical, and private pools are popular additions. Prices typically range from $300,000 to $700,000, though larger homes with three to six bedrooms and 2,000 to 4,000-square-foot layouts range from $1 million to $2 million—both ranges depending upon size and features.
Late 20th-century condo buildings and townhome communities are often set around commercial corridors, making it convenient for residents to ride public transportation or walk to shops and restaurants. Both condos and townhomes have monthly homeowners association dues, typically ranging from $350 to $900, covering community upkeep and granting access to shared spaces, like community pools. Spanish-inspired townhomes have two to three bedrooms, 1,000 to 3,000-square-foot layouts and carports, while condos are smaller with one to two bedrooms, 700 to 1,000-square-foot layouts and assigned parking. Prices for townhomes range from $300,000 to $800,000, and prices for condos range between $150,000 and $350,000—both ranges depending upon size and the community.
Convenience meets comfort in Uptown with close proximity to downtown and central Phoenix.
Many homes in Uptown Phoenix have large, irrigated lots.

Commercial corridors lined with shopping and dining
Local businesses and restaurants are found throughout Uptown Phoenix, but Camelback Road and Central Avenue are especially dense with shopping and dining. Camelback Village Square has a Fry’s grocery store, plus fast-food chains and a few locally owned spots like The Velvet Buttercream, a bakery with fresh pies and custom cakes. Across the street, the Window Coffee Bar serves specialty espresso drinks, like their cookie macchiato. The nearby Changing Hands Bookstore has been a Phoenix staple since the 1970s, offering secondhand books and a wine, beer and coffee bar inside.
“There's also an array of eclectic restaurants," Williamson says. "It’s really like a culinary adventure right at your doorstep.” Along Central Avenue, Williamson recommends Postino Central, a wine bar with patio dining, and Windsor, a restaurant and cocktail bar with a trademark cassette wall and classic comfort fare like fondue and fish-n-chips. Next door, Churn’s an old-fashioned-style ice cream parlor with banana split sundaes and retro toys. Joyride Taco House serves up Mexican favorites with a modern twist, like birria breakfast burritos and Nutella banana churros.
Local Nomad is a great place to find unique gifts for your artsy Uptown Phoenix friend.

Events and art uptown
On Wednesday and Saturday mornings, the Uptown Farmers Market is one of the largest in Phoenix, offering locally sourced produce and artisan goods. Annual events at Steele Indian School Park include the Doggie Street Festival in January, where locals can celebrate their furry friends and find pups up for adoption. In March, the M3F Music Festival brings live music to the park, and all proceeds go to charity. A mile away, the Madison Center for the Arts is the spot to enjoy Phoenix Symphony concerts, ballets and a wide variety of theatrical productions.
The Uptown Farmers Market offers fresh produce, juices, pottery, clothing, and handmade items.

Phoenix schools receive high marks from Niche
Local kids may attend the B-rated Madison Rose Lane Elementary, before moving on to the B-plus-rated Madison No. 1 Middle; both schools are known for their visual and performing arts, offering a wide range of music and dance classics, like jazz, tap and ballet. At the neighborhood’s B-minus-rated Central High, teens can learn about world cultures and global business in the Global Studies Program. Central High also offers dual-enrollment courses for college credit at Phoenix College.

Parks, golf and nature in Phoenix
“The best part of Uptown is really the park. They have a lake, amphitheater, lots of walking trails and a dog park,” Miller says. At the 72-acre Steele Indian School Park, locals can cast their fishing lines in the pond for catfish and trout, host a cookout under the picnic shelters and play sports like basketball and sand volleyball. “A lot of people go for runs or walk their dogs along the trails; it’s a very large park for that area of the city,” Miller says.
Folks may also go for a morning jog or bike ride along nearby Murphy’s Bridle Path, a 5-mile, tree-shaded trail along Central Avenue that cuts through some of the area’s historic subdivisions. The 11-acre Colter Park offers a playing field, playground and basketball court, and 5 miles away, the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club features two 18-hole courses with scenic views of the nearby Phoenix Mountains Preserve. At the preserve itself, nature lovers can go hiking along dirt-packed trails, like the 1-mile Piestewa Peak Nature Trail, and spot native birds, like cactus wrens and Cooper’s hawks.
Head north on Central Ave. from Uptown Phoenix to enjoy the shaded Murphy Bridal Path.
Uptown Phoenix residents can get in a round of golf at the nearby Arizona Biltmore Golf Club.

Getting around from Uptown Phoenix
Interstate 10 is about 3 miles away and travels throughout the Phoenix metro area. Downtown Phoenix is 4 miles away via Central Avenue, a local thoroughfare. “You do have the light rail that runs down Central Avenue, and you would use that to get around," Miller says. "Otherwise, there are a lot of people who ride their bikes around — but it’s still better to have a car.” Valley Metro buses also stop throughout the neighborhood. St. Joseph’s Hospital is about a mile away, and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is 7 miles away.
Bus and Light Rail service is available in Uptown Phoenix.
Phoenix Sky Harbor is conveniently located to Uptown Phoenix.
