Oakland Historic District Homes For Sale
Homes in Oakland Historic District are generally bounded by Grand and 19th Avenues, from Fillmore Street south to Van Buren Street.
Oakland Historic District is a very affordable neighborhood and is adjacent to Woodland Historic District. Woodland Park, one of Phoenix’ earliest city parks, separates the residential Woodland neighborhood from the commercially-oriented Van Buren Street.
A Walkable Neighborhood
Parts of the Oakland district neighborhood are close enough to walk to State and Federal offices, and the shops on Grand Avenue. So, if you work in this area, a home here will get rid of your commute. If you prefer a newer style of housing, the Monroe Street Bungalows are just a few years old and could be a nice option.
Architectural Styles and Square Footage in the Oakland Neighborhood
The historic homes are primarily modest 1920s brick Bungalows with broad front porches and gable roofs. You’ll find many Spanish Colonial Revivals as well. Most of these homes have quaint front porches and classic interior wood floors.
These homes range from 800 to 1200 square feet with 2 to 3 bedrooms and usually one bath. Most of the Bungalows in Oakland were constructed from 1914 through 1925.
An Important Neighborhood to Phoenix
The Oakland Historic neighborhood is important as one of the few remaining historic neighborhoods in downtown Phoenix. Its architecture and development patterns are typical of working class neighborhoods that flourished around central Phoenix after the turn of the century.
