Central City - Phoenix Urban Village

Central City - Phoenix Urban Villages

Central City is unique among the 15 Phoenix Urban Villages because its core is the downtown area of the city - Phoenix's urban center. Its many government, business, and cultural facilities make it the focal point of the expanding metro Phoenix area.

Its location at the Historic Center of Phoenix makes Central City the place to find many old homes and buildings located that convey the area's history. Downtown Phoenix is growing and thriving, though, so Central City also is home to the larger commercial and government buildings common to many downtown areas, as well as sports and entertainment venues like US Airways Center, Dodge Theatre, and Chase Field. Central City Village also includes the part of Phoenix directly east of downtown, including Sky Harbor International Airport.

Many of the oldest neighborhoods in Phoenix Central City surround the downtown. Some, such as the Roosevelt and Story neighborhoods, are designated historic districts and contain noteworthy architecture and beautiful tree-lined streets. Most of these historic neighborhoods have strong community organizations and associations that champion improvement efforts to enhance and preserve an old-fashioned neighborhood environment.

• Major financial, business, and hospital facilities
• A major transportation hub, containing the intersection of the regional freeway system, the metro transit system, and railroad lines serving outlying industrial areas
