Bounded by 1st and 7th Avenues, McDowell and Thomas Roads. Roughly 900 homes across 22 subdivisions platted from the 1920s, the city's first planned suburb, and since 1990 a National Register district where new homes simply don't happen. The Bower is the exception, and it sits in the middle.

Most Phoenix neighborhoods are still being built. Willo was done by the 1950s. That's why the palms are three stories tall, why every block has a different architect's idea of a front door, and why the Home Tour draws thousands every February: there is nothing else like it in the city and there can't be.
Twenty-eight new homes inside those lines is not a development. It's a once.
The Heritage Homes take the porch, the pitched roof and the yard from their neighbors. The Rooftop Residences step back behind them, so the street still reads as a street of cottages. Then both add what 1928 never had.
Twenty-one residences remain. Two furnished models open daily at 108 W Willo Ct, four minutes from the Encanto platform.
