Moving to Phoenix, Arizona

Phoenix is Arizona's capital and its largest city, with neighborhoods that range from historic districts and downtown high-rises to suburban foothills communities. It is also the center of the Valley's job market, sports, dining and arts.

Phoenix Highlights

  • Downtown Phoenix: sports venues, restaurants, museums and Arizona State University's downtown campus.
  • Roosevelt Row: an arts district known for murals, galleries and local businesses.
  • Arcadia: a well-known central Phoenix neighborhood with citrus lots and views of Camelback Mountain.
  • Ahwatukee Foothills: a South Phoenix community next to South Mountain Park and Preserve.
  • Sky Harbor International Airport: one of the busiest airports in the country, close to downtown.

Living in Phoenix

Phoenix is so big that each area feels different, with hiking at Camelback, Piestewa Peak and South Mountain, a growing downtown, and a huge mix of home styles. I can help you narrow down the parts of Phoenix that fit your budget, commute and lifestyle.

Buying a Home in Phoenix

Every Phoenix purchase is different, and the right price and terms depend on the home, the seller and the market. I'm a strong negotiator, and I keep negotiating until the keys are in my client's hands, through the inspection, the appraisal and the final walkthrough. On some homes you may also be able to take over the seller's existing FHA, VA or USDA loan. See my assumable mortgage guide to learn how that works and who it fits.
