Alvarado is known internationally as the home of the “Heard Museum.” It is located in the central core of Phoenix. Alvarado’s Historic District happens to be among the littlest but the most exclusive districts you will find in Phoenix. Their narrow streets are lined with trees (with palms and Olive trees being the focal points of the small streets) and the huge green lawns. This neighborhood was originally called “Los Olivos.

The homes in this historic district were built with second-floor balconies made of wrought iron. The homes in this neighborhood were generally built to feature the period of Revival architectural styles; this includes Spanish (Revival) and American Colonial (Craftsman Bungalow), among others. The homes in this district are all up-scaled estate-sized, being between 3,000 and 5,000 square feet with at least 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a 2-car garage.

When first developed, Alvarado was considered to be on the list of most desirable “suburban addresses” one could live now. It is considered the desirable “urban address.” The “Heard Museum” (world-renowned), including a private University Club of Phoenix, are both Alvarado’s historic neighbors. In fact, the site where the Phoenix Towers now stands is the original site of the Heard home and, at that time, was also the first home that was built in the Alvarado neighborhood, and it had 6,000 sq. feet of living space located on many acres of land.

If it is the “County Club Manor” and/or the “Encanto-Palmcroft” neighborhoods you are looking for to be near the central corridor, then what you are really wanting is the “Alvarado Historic District.” Warning: since there are usually only 30 individual homes located within this “exclusive Central Phoenix district,” you need to grab it up as soon as it goes up for sale!
