Los Olivos is a prestigious historic neighborhood with beautiful private villas. The area was founded by Dwight B. Heard, one of the most prominent landowners in the Salt River Valley at the turn of the century and namesake of the Heard Museum. He touted that Los Olivos offered the “comfort and freedom of the country” with the modern amenities of the city. The community was built from 1911 to 1955 and it’s among the most architecturally diverse neighborhoods in Phoenix. There are only 14 historic houses here, but they are grand and designed with lots of unique features. Most have Tudor Revival, Craftsman Bungalow and Spanish Colonial architectural styles. They are built on 5-acre lots and each has a depth that takes up an entire city block. The average home has 2,800 square feet with 4-5 bedrooms and 4-5 bathrooms, giving you ample space. It’s rare for historic luxury homes to go up for sale in the Los Olivos, Phoenix area. However, when they do become available, they are must-sees!
