North Central Phoenix is a verdant, tree-lined residential corridor in the geographic heart of metro Phoenix, just ten minutes north of downtown. The historic core, defined by the North Central Phoenix Homeowners Association, runs from Missouri Avenue to Northern Avenue between 7th Avenue and 7th Street.
The area is known for the Murphy Bridle Path, a tree-shaded pedestrian and equestrian trail running along Central Avenue that dates back to the late 1800s and is listed on both the State and National Register of Historic Places. Most homes were built between the 1940s and 1960s in classic brick ranch style, many lovingly preserved, others thoughtfully renovated.
As of February 2026, the median sale price in the North Central corridor was $1.125 million at $390 per square foot, making it one of the most coveted established neighborhoods in the Valley.
Explore the CommunitiesThe median sale price in the North Central Phoenix corridor was $1.125 million in early 2026, at approximately $390 per square foot. Entry-level single-family homes start in the $600,000 range. Custom estates along Central Avenue, Lafayette Boulevard, and the Murphy Bridle Path routinely close between $2 million and $5.7 million.
North Central Phoenix is served by the highly rated Madison School District, including Madison Camelview Elementary, Madison Rose Lane, Madison Heights, and Madison Park Middle School. The corridor also offers walkable access to Brophy College Preparatory, Xavier College Preparatory, and All Saints' Episcopal Day School.
The Murphy Bridle Path is a historic equestrian and pedestrian trail running 2.5 miles north along Central Avenue through North Central Phoenix. Established by W.J. Murphy in 1895 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the bridle path is shaded by mature trees and used daily by residents for walking, jogging, and horseback riding.
North Central Phoenix is best known for mid-century brick ranch homes built between the 1940s and 1960s on generously sized lots. The corridor also includes Spanish Colonial Revival, Territorial, Tudor Revival, and a growing number of custom contemporary builds. Many original homes have been expanded or rebuilt while preserving the neighborhood's brick-ranch character.
Beyond the North Central corridor, Bobby actively represents buyers and sellers in the Arizona Biltmore area, Arcadia, Paradise Valley, central Scottsdale, and Phoenix's historic districts including Encanto-Palmcroft, Coronado, and the Central Avenue Estates. He is also experienced in court-ordered sales and bank-owned transactions across the Valley.
The North Central corridor is a narrow geographic market with distinct sub-pockets that price very differently block by block. An agent who lives in the neighborhood and has tracked every closed sale since 2001 prices listings more accurately, anticipates inspection issues unique to mid-century homes, and brings a buyer network that does not exist for agents working outside the area.
