I’d personally recommend my neighborhood to you. I live basically at Biltmore or Uptown (North Central) depending on who you ask. If you can afford it, I recommend living as close to the 16th street and Northern intersection as you can get. There you can get the best public schools in the city. You get Madison elementary and middle schools, and then Sunnyslope High. You also get the environment you’re looking for.

If you can stick to the East Camelback Road corridor, you can get really good schools there in the multiple Arcadia neighborhoods. Try to get Arcadia High and not Camelback high school. I do not recommend going towards Thomas if possible.

Both of the above areas assume you make a lot of money, and can afford a low million dollar home. If you can’t afford that high, there are still other nearby homes with that vibe that’ll suit your budget. You’ll have a hard time finding a place below 500k in both areas though.

To be honest you’ve already identified the neighborhoods I’d recommend, except some of the historic neighborhoods like Encanto, Coronado, or Willo. Other posters have recommended those.

I’m a progressive and I really enjoy my neighborhood. I rent here but I can’t afford it as much as I’d like to. I think my neighborhood would also suit you well, as well as Arcadia or the historic neighborhoods I just listed.

If you are open to living a bit further out, I’d also recommend North Tempe to you. I think you’d really like the Maple-Ash neighborhood in Tempe, just west of ASU.

Lol. The irony. The more progressive this place gets, the more things cost. The more progressive it gets, the less likely YOU will be able to ever purchase a home. Section 8 might be in your future at this rate.

Who pooped in your food today? I don’t know why you’re being so hostile on here.

It's very odd, particularly considering that he gives his name out to people in private messages and asks them to hire him as a realtor. I hope he feels better. It really sounds like he's having a bad day.

0909 isn't telling a lie about progressivism.

Well I know when I’m buying I won’t go to him. No one who tells me I’m going to section 8 is worth my time.

Yes, I actually considered talking to him at first as a realtor, but then I researched his older posts and changed my mind.

Your first part of your post is 100 percent correct.

Your second part of your post is pure ignorance. SMH. Do better.

This statement is really odd coming from a realtor.

Yes, the more progressive a place gets the more desirable it gets. Especially with educated and affluent buyers. Along with that comes the potential of higher paying jobs. Austin and Denver are perfect examples of once sleepy midsized cities that are now thriving with headquarters and regional hubs. With all that said, neither of those cities are really progressive by San Francisco standards. I don’t why people think their city will turn into that. Maybe it’s time to turn off a certain news network?

Now back to the OP, the neighborhoods you stated and others recommended are great choices. Phoenix isn’t full at all.
