I always enjoy telling people about the Willo Historic District. It’s a very cool historic neighborhood bounded by McDowell and Thomas Roads on the North and South and 1st to 7th Avenues on the east and West. Each year, the residents of Willo put on the annual Willo Historic District Home Tour.
The annual Willo Home Tour attracts thousands of people each year because of our collective love affair with the cool homes in this awesome downtown Phoenix location.
This self guided tour of Willo allows people to peak inside of some great homes while walking the tree lined streets or by taking one of the shuttle busses around the neighborhood.
This year’s Willo tour showcases 13 homes and the old historic firehouse at 13th Avenue and Jewel. In addition to touring these historic homes, there is a LOT of excitement around the Willo street fair that has food, music and so much more. It really is a great way to spend a Sunday.
Here’s the scoop…
Date: Sunday, February 12th, 2012
Time: Tour open 10am-4pm ( pick up will call tickets starting at 9am )
Place: Willo! ( McDowell to Thomas – 1st Ave to 7th Ave )
Tickets: You can BUY TICKETS for $15.75 before the tour, $18.00 day of tour
Parking: Free parking at 1st Ave and Holly ( just north of Chateau )
TAKE LIGHT RAIL: Seriously, why would you try to park with 3000 other people?
With 3-4000 people expected to attend the tour, the light rail is a great way to get to and from the Willo Home Tour. Traffic can be a nightmare, don’t even mess with it when you can take the light rail to a station that is just a short walk from the tour and shuttle busses.
Below is a map of the area. If you are first time light rail riders or are not familiar with riding the trains, please keep these things in mind.
1. Purchase a light rail pass. An all day adult pass is just $3.50.
2. Take advantage of the FREE Park and Ride lots.
3. Know your light rail stations. See the light rail map below.

The proceeds from the Willo Historic Home Tour benefit the neighborhood, the park and the entire community. This is an awesome volunteer effort that ultimately benefits Willo and it’s surrounding areas.
“A variety of homes from Tudor to Spanish Revival - Bungalow to Ranch style homes dating from the 1920's through the 1940's will be on tour.” – Willo Home Tour

For a while, it seemed like light rail accidents made the news fairly often. Cars and trains just didn’t seem to play well together when the system was new. Most of the time, we would hear that people were not paying attention to the road or were unfamiliar with the location of the tracks. It seems far more common for a light rail train to have an accident with a car than a person. The last “big” story I recall was when a man suffered a head injury back in November of 2010 while being pushed nearly 40 feet by a light rail car. I’m not sure what happened to that man, hopefully, he is ok.
Yesterday, we heard of a teenager hit by a train in Phoenix after stepping off of the platform and onto the tracks. Apparently, the 17 year old was struck at approximately 7PM near Central and Campbell Avenues. Why he stepped on to the platform and how he could not see the train remains a mystery.
According to Phoenix Fire Dept, the teen had a “pretty serious head injury” and was taken to the hospital. Thankfully, Jared Montoya was at the train station and was to help pull the boy out from under the train.

Remember to obey the signs and watch for the trains. They are really big and can hurt you if you are not careful. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the teen. We hope he is well, soon.
Accidents happen. Safety first, folks. Just like momma’ told you!
On Friday, January 27th, SEVRAR’s government affairs director ( South East Valley Regional Association of REALTORS ) sent a survey to members concerning the upcoming Tempe Mayor and City Council races. It is my hope that agents will take the time to complete this survey, as I understand that it can effect the upcoming SEVRAR endorsement of the candidates.
Yes, I know it’s not always good to talk politics amongst friends, but let’s face it, the job of mayor and city council certainly has a lot to do with real estate in Tempe. From property taxes to job creation to serving our community, the future of our city needs to continue to have strong leadership and good people serving in public office.
If you are one of the many busy real estate agents out there that hasn’t taken the few minutes it takes to complete the survey from SEVRAR, please do so. Grab it out of your inbox, retrieve it from the deleted folder or wherever you place the “things to do” items and fill it out.
If you are interested in my .02 about the campaign, I’ll say that I strongly urge you to join me in supporting Michael Monti to be the next Mayor of Tempe.
We are fortunate to have three really great people running for mayor. I have had the opportunity to meet all of the candidates, learn about their positions, and get a very good feel for, who I believe is, the best person to lead Tempe into the next phase of our future.
Michael Monti is a small business owner, has employed hundreds of people, knows about private property rights, and understands working with and for people to make things happen within our city. He is NOT a career politician and does not feel he is owed the job of mayor. Just about everyone in Tempe is familiar with the famous Monti’s La Casa Vieja restaurant. What many people are not familiar with is the fact that Mr. Monti is a graduate of ASU, has also obtained a law degree ( not a practicing attorney ), and has co-founded Local First Arizona. Additionally, both Michael and his wife have taken the courses necessary to obtain a real estate license in Arizona.
Michael is a great father to six children and understands the importance of keeping Tempe a great place to raise a family. He understands that we need to strive for much more that just keeping Tempe different. We have real issues to deal with, and real momentum to carry us to an even better future. In addition to a very successful business and personal life, his charitable work and contributions to the city are many. Please see Monti4Mayor.com for much more information about Michael Monti.
I have also spent a lot of time looking into the qualifications of all of the candidates running for city council. Since this post doesn’t need to be 10,000 words, please feel free to contact me with further questions about the Monti campaign or any of the city council candidates. I’ll be glad to share any information I have.
This is a non-partisan election. I urge you to make your position know to SEVRAR and, more importantly, to make sure to vote in your city, state and national elections!
“Good government knows no political boundaries. As Mayor I would put policy above partisanship, and people above politics.” – Michael Monti
Over the past 20 years, I have helped hundreds and hundreds of people buy and sell homes in cities outside of Tempe. If you live in another city, I would urge you to pay attention to the local process there, as well.
As you can see, my kids want to help, too. :)
*typical REALTOR disclosure: I was not asked to write this article by anyone and am not officially part of any campaign. Yes, I support Michael Monti. No, I don’t have any political aspirations or agenda. I do consider Michael a personal friend.*
