Arizona Home Talk

Downtown Phoenix is home to several historic districts with amazing neighborhoods and architecture.  Last weekend, a friend and I went to the Roosevelt Home Tour.  For $15 dollars (or $10 if you brought some canned food donation) you can personally go inside and tour these historic homes.  There were 12 homes on the tour, all within walking distance to one another, but a shuttle is provided as well.  Also provided is a booklet with a photo of each home and some historical info. In addition to the 12 homes, a handful of homes for sale held open houses.  We saw cottage style homes as small as 1,200 square feet and craftsman style mansions as large as 4,200 square feet.  We saw homes built from 1919-1926.  The price range for the homes for sale was from $575,000 to $1,695,000.
