This district is on of the first historic neighborhoods. It's a collection of 602 homes from as early as the 1920's. The neighborhood is bounded by McDowell Rd., Roosevelt St., Seventh Avenue and Grand Avenue.
What's nearby is a vibrant local scene with lots of independent businesses, ASU in downtown and the business district.
"Francis Quarles Story, for whom the neighborhood was named, was involved in numerous developments in early Phoenix, including the construction of Grand Avenue in 1887 and its subsequent streetcar line. He is also credited with the advertising campaign which made the Sunkist Orange famous.
In 1920, when development of the F. Q. Story neighborhood began, Phoenix had a population of 29,000. It was advertised as a streetcar suburb, being close to the Grand Avenue and Kenilworth carlines. The first houses were clustered by the streetcar line at thFQ Story homes in downtown Phoenix eastern edge of the neighborhood. As building proceeded westward and the auto became more common, houses began to feature detached garages and porte cocheres.
The last development phase began in 1927, encompassing eighty acres from 11th to 15th Avenues, between McDowell Road and Roosevelt Street. Development hit its peak in 1930 with the construction of 133 new houses, only to falter as the Depression hit Phoenix. Construction declined, but by 1938, approximately seventy-five percent of the F.Q. Story Addition had been completed." (from FQ Story Neighborhood Website)
The southern part of the neighborhood is located next to I-10 which exudes some noise pollution: for some this will be a negative the noise is not too loud not to be bearable or easily masked by a strategically placed fountain.
Many of the homes still need to be updated or restored so some streets are mixed in care, but overall this is a wonderful neighborhood.
