About the Northeast Phoenix Area
Bookended by Paradise Valley Mall at Tatum and Cactus on the south and Desert Ridge Marketplace on Tatum and the 101 on the north, Northeast Phoenix is a bustling residential neighborhood that combines affordable, family-orientated neighborhoods with a surplus of world-class shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Residents are attracted by the great schools, safe streets, and surplus of parks, as well as three top hospitals (Mayo Clinic, Paradise Valley Hospital, and Scottsdale Healthcare Thompson Peak Hospital). Quick, easy access to trendy neighbors Paradise Valley and Scottsdale, as well as the airport and downtown Phoenix via two major highways, the Loop 101 and SR51, are also major draws for Northeast Phoenix residents. The rapidly developing Desert Ridge master-planned communities promise this area will keep rising to the top ranks of Valley real estate.
Background

Named after the legendary Egyptian bird, a symbol of rebirth, Phoenix was also called “the place is hot” by the Navajo. The near-perfect weather led to a population boom during World War II when military training centers other defense industries brought in a flux of new residents.
