Architecturally significant mid-century single-family homes south of the canal trade between $1.5M and $10M+.
Which luxury condo towers are in Old Town?

Why do buyers choose Old Town?
Walkability is the dominant draw. Old Town residents can walk to dozens of restaurants, the Fashion Square mall, the Arts District, the Waterfront, and multiple resorts. No other Phoenix-area sub-market offers comparable density of amenities within walking distance.
