Before World War II, Phoenix was a sleepy little southwestern town best known for having a climate that offered relief to asthmatics.
Cotton, cattle, citrus and copper, known locally as the “Four Cs”, were the cornerstones of its early twentieth-century economy. In 1940, the cities population was a mere 65,000 and the largest of the surrounding towns was Mesa with 7,000 people.
With the advent of WWII and the ensuing military build up, defense contractors went searching for land, water and a willing work force, all of which they found in fledging Phoenix, en masse, they moved in, bringing educated employees and a wealth of new jobs. Farmland and desert scrub were cleared to build massive plants that flew the banners of Goodyear Aircraft Corp, AiReseaarch, Motorola, Sperry Rand and General Electric, some of which are still counted among the city’s largest employers today.
During the post-war years, word be¬gan to spread that, contrary to those Saturday matinee Westerns, Phoenix was a civilized city with abundant sunshine and recreational pleasures to spare. Phoenix real estate is a tapestry of neighborhoods that are as diverse as the colors in a Navajo rug. The historic homes of the Encanto District are favored by successful professionals; the cozier, antique adobe houses of the Willo District are fixer-uppers with flair. A country-club lifestyle encircles the famed Arizona Biltmore Hotel, while some of the city’s most expansive estates line the lightly wooded, curb less streets of north Central Avenue Phoenix real estate area.
Driving SUVs instead of covered wagons, another wave of families wanting a fresh start began to move west. And they’re still coming – only now driving mini-vans and sport utility vehicles. But new residents aren’t the only ones who flock to Phoenix AZ real estate. Tourism is one of the metropolitan area’s leading industries employing 220,000. That’s good news for Phoenicians who have at their year-round disposal the restaurants, retail centers and recreational outlets targeted to tourists.
