Encanto Palmcroft & Encanto Vista
Encanto Palmcroft is probably the historic neighborhood with the highest real estate values. The area is made up of large homes on curving, tree-lined streets with little pocket parks scattered about. It abuts on the south Encanto Park, one of the city's largest and oldest parks. I've cruised around in this area many times and have published photos from this neighborhood several times.
The houses in Encanto Palmcroft are all unique in architectural style with well manicured green yards.
The Encanto Vista neighborhood is also next to Encanto Park and just a few blocks away from the Encanto Palmcroft neighborhood. However, this area consists of more modest homes in size and architecture. The one above is showing it's tidy brick facade.
This one appears to be block construction and has adopted a unique yard style. Those rock-wire walls seem to be very popular right now.
You have such wonderful neighbourhoods around Phoenix.
ReplyDeleteThey are all attractive in very different styles!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful neighborhoods, Sharon, although the first is my preferred :)
ReplyDeleteI always loved this area of Phoenix. As a kid, we'd ride to Encanto Park and swim and dive in the pool! That's where I first learned to high dive.
ReplyDeleteA very grand neighbourhood
ReplyDeleteLooks like a pretty livable neighborhood with diverse styles. Nice photos. Get a real estate job on the side photographing houses. haha
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful architecture!
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting neighborhood. The architecture alone makes the place a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteInteresting mix of styles. Some of those first houses are really like mansions!
ReplyDeleteI would gladly move into those first two, Sharon! But the last 2 are also nice. Trees really make for a nice environment.
ReplyDeleteThe first two are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI used to drive around that area many years ago and that first house in your post was always my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThey are nice! I think I prefer the brick.
ReplyDeleteEncanto Vista looks more my style!
ReplyDeleteEach of the four home are perfect Southwest houses. The casa with the "tidy brick facade" appears to be one that would content me as a retirement home.
