Craftsman Bungalow in Roosevelt in low 300’s
A few years ago, the possibility of buying a home in the Roosevelt Historic District in the low 300’s was totally unimaginable. Fast forward to today’s real estate market and experience the new market reality. This Bungalow, built in 1912 and just steps from the light rail station at Central & McDowell is on the market for $329,000. Due to the recently increased FHA loan limits, this home would qualify for FHA financing with as little as 3.5% down.

Phoenix Market Open 5 Days A Week
Attention shoppers! The first grocery store to open in downtown Phoenix in nearly 30 years is taking shape.
On a recent afternoon, a crew worked on plumbing and electrical systems for the 2,000-square-foot store, which is expected to open sometime in August. Soon they will bring in refrigerated cases, ovens and other kitchen equipment, said Alan McLaughlin, the store’s general manager.
“We will source everything local,” he said, including meat, milk and cheese. “This will be a hangout place in the neighborhood.”
The $475,000 project is an offshoot of the popular, biweekly Phoenix Public Market, which is run by the non-profit Community Food Connections.
Live in a Loft on Central
The epitome of downtown Phoenix urban living would be to live right on the light rail line, with a restaurant downstairs, the Library across the street, a pharmacy a few blocks away and the grocery store within bicycling distance, don’t you agree? Some fortunate soul will seize the opportunity to enjoy the just described locale by acquiring this bank-owned, 2-story loft at the Artisan Lofts on Central, that just came on the market.

Art Detour, Revamped
Art Detour may have been a month ago, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start anticipating Art Detour 2010. With a smaller crowd due to ever-growing First Friday buzz, some wrote off Art Detour 2009.
