Historic Neighborhoods of Phoenix

There are currently 34 neighborhoods in the Downtown Phoenix area that the City of Phoenix has deemed as “Historic”.
Phoenix voters approved monies both in 1989 and 2001 to fund the Historic Preservation Program. The city’s Historic Preservation Office works to protect and enhance Historic neighborhoods, buildings and sites. They work closely with the city’s Historic Preservation Commission to identify and designate properties eligible for listing on the Phoenix Historic Property Register.
There are financial benefits to owning a home in a “Historic District” which include grants from the city to help with exterior rehabilitation as well as property tax reductions.
