It's no surprise to people in the Duke Manor neighborhood, as we have been enjoying the wide streets, magnificent trees, and great period architecture of this adjacent neighborhood for walking, jogging, or a just nice way to enter our neighborhood from University Dr.
This photo below was taken about two blocks away from Duke Manor in the 700 block of N Robson.
The article reads:
"The name says it all. In a valley filled with neighborhoods whose chracter is stagnant and hard to define, Mesa'a evergreen district remains fresh and lively...
Today, this family-friendly neighborhood boasts expanded bungalow-style homes on large lots with huge setbacks fronted by huge trees. It begs for a walkabout- driving feels like a crime here."
It's a great acknowledgment for a gem of a neighborhood, blessed with distinct Phoenix rareties- historical charm and lush landscaping. It's also located close the Valley Metro Light Rail path that will continue through Downtown Mesa in the next few years.
Keep your eye on this area!!
This is a fantastic neighborhood! It is just lovely - it's hard to find charm like this and it's so convenient. You always hear people dissing Mesa - not to bright I guess.
