When I look at the beautiful homes of La Hacienda historic district my heart begins to beat a little faster, my eyes open up and I feel a tingle in the brain.

La Hacienda is located just north of Thomas and west of 7th Street and is comprised of 2 streets from 3rd Street to 7th Street.

It's one of those communities without sidewalks and that's part of the charm and character which makes this little community so special. That and of course the amazing architecture.

The streets with no sidewalks, ironically, create a sense of exclusivity and a rural feel to what is an are in midtown urban Phoenix. The yards are lush with plants and mature trees creating striking contrasts of shade, dark bark and white stucco as in the photo below.

In the eastern part the architectural style of Spanish Colonial Revival is uniform, but each home is custom and unique.

La Hacienda in Spanish means a large ranch or estate and you certainly get that feeling despite most of the homes having small lots and small proportions with the exception of a few few two story grand homes on large yards.
