Idylwilde Park Historic Homes
Established as at historic district in June 1991 with a period of significance from 1928-1941.In 1928 Idylwilde Park, a new subdivision, was platted by Earl Webster and C.W. Stephenson. In a competitive market the developers came up with an idea unlike any other in Phoenix.
The main selling point was to incorporate a large three acre park into the subdivision: further more the park was to be situated inside, surrounded by the backs of the homes: home owners not only own their small lots, but a share in the park: quite novel is it not?The homes all loop on the outer edge of the park and there is an interior gravel road in-between the homes and the park.The park is the main attraction.
It's is a secluded piece of nature in the midst of a dense city: separated, secluded and relatively safe, and probably a great place for kids to play or picnics.
The park is surrounded by a double row of Tamarisk trees: which is an unfortunate choice for this climate and they are not very pretty.There are 4 main architectural styles: California Bungalow, National Style (one with Native American roots), Pueblo Revival and Spanish Eclectic.
It's quite a treat to walk the periphery of the Idylwilde: the homes have taken on the charms of the years gone by and some are quite unique indeed: no cookie cutter homes here.
