Considerably. Across the neighborhoods in ZIP code 85003 with enough sales to measure, median prices run from roughly $580K to $1.0M.

What city is 85003 in?
Every home sold in ZIP code 85003 over the past year carried a Phoenix address. Note that a mailing address is not the same as a city limit — check the parcel itself for jurisdiction, taxes and services.
What school district serves 85003?
Phoenix Elementary District serves most of ZIP code 85003 — it is the district listed on 93% of homes sold over the past year. The high school most often listed is Central High School.

Is 85003 served by APS or SRP?
APS. Arizona Public Service's certificated service territory covers effectively all of ZIP code 85003. Service territory follows historical boundaries rather than ZIP codes, so check the address.
Is any part of 85003 in a flood zone?
Parts of it are, which is true of most of the Phoenix valley — the desert washes that carry monsoon runoff are mapped as high-hazard even where they cross otherwise dry ground. ZIP code 85003 contains FEMA zones AE, AE (Floodway). That says nothing about any particular house: most homes in these ZIPs sit outside the mapped areas. A lender will require flood insurance only if the property itself is inside one, so the check that matters is on the address, not the ZIP.
What ZIP codes border 85003?
ZIP code 85003 borders 85004, 85007, 85013, and 85040.
