Mesa AZ Neighborhoods: Living Near Downtown Mesa

Downtown Mesa has been quietly reinventing itself, and the neighborhoods around it have real character.

What is nearby

• Mesa Arts Center, with concerts, theater, and classes.
• Main Street shops, coffee spots, and restaurants.
• Valley Metro light rail, connecting to Tempe and Phoenix.
• Seasonal events and festivals throughout the year.

The homes

You will find historic bungalows, mid-century ranches, and some newer townhomes and condos. Older homes have charm, and charm sometimes has quirks.

What to inspect

• Electrical panels and wiring in older homes.
• Sewer lines. A sewer scope inspection is a smart add-on.
• Irrigation. Some older Mesa neighborhoods have flood irrigation, which is a fun and very Arizona thing to learn about.
• Historic district guidelines if you plan to remodel.
