Read Story →About the Neighborhood
A neighborhood that stayed a neighborhood.
Coronado took shape between the 1920s and 1940s, when Phoenix was still small and these streets were its leafy new edge. The homes went up one at a time — brick bungalows, period-revival cottages, low ranch houses — each with its own face turned toward the sidewalk.
Nearly a century later, that's still the point. Coronado is one of the city's designated historic districts, but its real character isn't on any registry. It's the porch concerts and block parties, the home tours and Halloween traditions, the neighbors who actually know one another. Four doors, four stories — and one community behind all of them.
