Living in North Phoenix
North Phoenix neighborhoods sit between central Phoenix and the communities farther north, like Anthem and Cave Creek. Three freeways serve the area: I-17, Loop 101 and SR-51, which makes North Phoenix one of the more practical places to live if you drive across the Valley.
Desert Ridge is a large master-planned area just north of Loop 101, with Desert Ridge Marketplace on Tatum Boulevard for shopping, dining and entertainment.
Talk with me about North Phoenix
How I serve North Phoenix buyers and sellers
I’m Valerie Moe, with Keller Williams Realty Sonoran Living. North Phoenix covers a lot of ground, and the neighborhoods within it vary by age, lot size and price. I walk through a home before I talk about its value, and I compare it against sales in its own neighborhood first.
For buyers, North Phoenix is often the place where commute and budget meet. For sellers, the wide range of competition means presentation and pricing need care. See selling a home in North Phoenix or buying a home in North Phoenix.
