Downtown Phoenix
Downtown Phoenix is Arizona's epicenter of art, sports, music, events, cuisine, higher education, and architecture, bringing together people from all walks of life. With a skyline visible from nearly anywhere in the Valley, this community of high-rise condos, townhomes, and historic properties is Arizona's premiere spot for comfortable and exciting urban living.
Is Downtown
for me?
Over the past decade, downtown Phoenix has successfully transitioned itself from sleeper city into Arizona's hotbed of start-ups, galleries, cuisine, and events. Downtown is now a walkable paradise for urbanists.
While there are no single-family homes available in downtown proper, those searching for picture-perfect condos are in for a treat, with historic high-rises, urban lofts, and new-build townhomes in abundance.
Urban dwellers interested in ditching their car can now do so comfortably, with many amenities within walking distance, and the light-rail offering easy service throughout downtown, midtown, and Tempe.
