The Colors of Coronado Homes in Historic Phoenix

The Coronado historic district is only historic in it's home type. In everything else it is a contemporary neighborhood occupied by creative and professional people, many of whom have make this little home rather beautiful and bountiful. It take a lot of talent to make a small home work, to nurture and bloom these homes and for the most part, people are succeeding. 

Beige is the color most difficut to find in Coronado: beige takes back stage role in favor of color and personality: beige is the for the suburbs of neo tuscan, modified ranch, and newer HOA restricted homes.

Each house is different and unlike the beige dipped homes of the suburb, these historic houses tend to have many colors with green, blue, yellow walls and red, dark navy, trim and red doors with white pillars or rusted metal or raw brick and many combinations accented by potted plants and sculptures.

The best way to see Coronado's colors is on a bike with a stop for lunch at Coronado Cafe, Rice Paper or another of the locally owned businesses on 7th Street.
