Our Neighborhood

Homes in the Duke Manor neighborhood are of the “Simple Ranch” construction, with an honest character and solid materials. Although all the homes here share a similar design, there are several distinct floorplans and a range of original sizes from around 1100 sq ft at the smallest, and close to 1,700 sq ft at the largest. A variety of different roof styles exist within the neighborhood to differentiate the individual homes, including that of “French Provincial Ranch”, and “Prairie Ranch”.



Duke Manor is the city's first post-war Housing tract.






As Phoenix, and the Southwest generally, continues to be a place of growth and expansion away from our cities’ centers, neighborhoods like Duke Manor inevitably become more valuable. While the outlying desert communities infill with homes of questionable construction, cramped lots, busy roads lined with big-box retail, and congested beltways, our streets will continue to mature with charm and dignity.

The simply styled homes are set along a wide circuited roadway, with deep lots, traditional grass lawns and mature trees. Examples of traditional regional plantings like flowering rose and hibiscus, fruit-bearing citrus trees, date, pecan, Aleppo pine, and palms are part of the neighborhood landscape.
