17 years ago I did several posts about a little enclave of homes built where a date farm used to exist. The buildings at Palma Viva at one time belonged to the Phoenix Date and Citrus Company. Some of the buildings housed workers while others were business offices. Today, they have all been converted to homes.
Last Sunday, I took another look around the place. All those years later, it looks very much the same.
The place has remained well-kept and shaded by those very tall palm trees and the many old eucalyptus trees that dot the area.
There is only one entrance into this enclave and that entrance is through a very narrow opening in a wall. It's not a place you happen drive through. You have to make the effort to find the entrance. That gives this place a sort of isolated feel even though it's right in the heart of the city surrounded by busy streets.

The last photo is magnificent! So lovely to hear that the area has been cared for all these years.
It looks peaceful & serene, Sharon.
A peaceful oasis in the middle of Phoenix.
Looks like it would be a nice place to call home.
