The Biltmore area is the busy heart of central Phoenix around 24th Street and Camelback Road, ZIP 85016, next to the Piestewa Peak Freeway (SR-51) and anchored by Biltmore Fashion Park and the Camelback Corridor office district. Homes here range from mid-rise and high-rise condo towers built in the 2000s to 1950s ranch homes on quiet side streets.
I'm Terry Day with DeLex Realty. The Biltmore area is where a lot of Phoenix works, shops and eats, and it is one of the few parts of the Valley where you can live in a condo tower and walk to dinner. This page covers the corridor and the neighborhoods around it. For the golf course communities around the resort itself, see my Arizona Biltmore Estates guide.

The name comes from the Arizona Biltmore resort, which opened in 1929 just north of Camelback Road, and development along the Camelback Corridor followed over the decades. The City of Phoenix plans the center of it as the Camelback East Primary Core, generally bounded by the Piestewa Peak Freeway (SR-51), 26th Street, Camelback Road and Highland Avenue, with a wider area stretching from 16th Street to 28th Street. The area sits in the Camelback East village, between Piestewa Peak and Camelback Mountain.
SR-51 puts north Phoenix and downtown within easy reach, and light rail runs along Central Avenue to the west, with a station at Central and Camelback.
Few parts of Phoenix offer as many types of homes in such a small area:
The city's plan for the core encourages mid-rise housing while protecting the existing single-family neighborhoods around it, so you get city living and quiet streets within a few blocks of each other.
School assignments depend on the exact address. Listings for the Optima Biltmore Towers show the Madison School District (Madison No. 1 and Madison Park) and Camelback High School in the Phoenix Union High School District. Listings for Biltmore Manor south of Camelback show the Creighton Elementary School District (Larry C. Kennedy) and Camelback High School. Confirm the assigned schools for a specific home with each district.
The condo towers and townhome communities have their own associations that cover building operations, common areas and amenities, and their rules on rentals, pets and parking matter. Older single-family subdivisions vary, so check the title report and disclosures to see whether a specific home has an HOA.
Start by choosing between tower living, a townhome or a house with a yard, because each one is a different search. For condos, I review the association's budget, reserves, special assessments and rental rules before you commit. For older houses, inspections on roofs, plumbing and electrical come first. If you want to ask about taking over a seller's lower-rate loan, see my assumable mortgage guide, and if you're just starting, read first steps to buying a home in Arizona.
Condo buyers compare buildings closely, so highlight your floor, views, parking and the amenities your building offers, and have the association documents ready. House sellers should point to the location: few homes this central have a yard and a quiet street. Read how to price your Arizona home to sell, then call me for a pricing review.
