First Place Phoenix - Unclaimed

Encanto is a central Phoenix neighborhood with a mix of historic residential streets, commercial corridors and the state Capitol area. Its desert climate brings long, hot summers and mild winters. Encanto Park is a major outdoor destination, with a lake, walking paths, sports facilities and playgrounds; the nearby Phoenix Art Museum and Heard Museum add art and cultural outings. Dining and coffee options range from casual neighborhood spots to restaurants along Central Avenue, while shopping is available on nearby urban corridors. The area’s history is visible in its older homes and established street grid. Valley Metro light rail and local bus routes connect parts of Encanto with downtown and other Phoenix destinations, and cycling or driving can help with trips beyond the central area. Encanto neighborhood rental listings have a median rent of $1,529 per month and a typical range of $655 to $20,000.
