Phoenix Historic Homes: Upcoming Neighborhood Tours

by Jay Thompson on February 8, 2010

I’m a big fan of historic homes. They just don’t build them the same these days – the different styles, the colors, just the “attitude” of a historic home isn’t like the typical stucco and tile roofs you see throughout Phoenix suburbia.

Two of my favorite Phoenix historic homes areas are having neighborhood tours this month. These aren’t just home tours, they are neighborhood events. I’ve attended the Willo festival before and it was a blast. The Brentwood / Coronado tour is new:

The 2010 Willo Home Tour

What: 22nd Annual Willo Historic Home Tour and Street Festival

When: Sunday, February 14, 2010 from 10:00am – 4:00pm

Where: Willo Historic District – 3rd Ave & Holly Street, Phoenix (map)

Cost: $13.75 online in advance, $15 day of event. Kids 12 and under are free.

More Information: Willo Historic District site.

The 2010 Brentwood Historic District Tour (in the Coronado neighborhood)

What: Home Tour 2010: Undiscovered Coronado!

When: Sunday, February 28, 2010 from 10:00am – 5:00pm

We have many in the Los Angeles area as well. What's fun is not just touring the homes, but socializing with the community. It's a great way to get to know people. We met a couple on a home tour and when we put our own house up for sale, that same couple put in a bid for our own historic home. It was only due to us telling them about our charming and older home that they wanted to see our home for themselves. They loved it. Unfortunately another bid came in higher than theirs. Still, friends were made on the tour and it was a fun day.

Jay, thanks for putting out the reminder about the historic home tours. I remember when they tried to get the Coronado Historic Home Tour going when I lived there. Glad to see that they managed to get one organized..

A Historic home tour is a great idea. We have a few areas here in San Jose and Los Gatos California that would be perfect candidates. Would anyone have tips as to how I might go about implementing one for my clients and community? Your ideas would be appreciated.

I think a video tour would really be good. an improvement over this one...

Wow! Those are really beautiful houses. I wonder if you also have a list of known haunted houses. I read somewhere that some of those known houses are for sale and people are really interested in buying them.

Terence

We have a tour here it Fort Collins, Colorado. It is put on the local historical society as a fundraiser.

Great Idea Terrance. I will have to contact our societies here. There are 4 or 5 in my local area. I love fundraiser. We are involved in a museum charity this month http://bit.ly/btuRUd
