Considerably. Across the neighborhoods in ZIP code 85012 with enough sales to measure, median prices run from roughly $120K to $1.6M, a spread of about 13x. A single ZIP-wide median is a starting point rather than a guide to any particular street, so it is worth looking at comparable sales close to the address you are considering.
What city is 85012 in?
Every home sold in ZIP code 85012 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 85012?
ZIP code 85012 is split across 2 school districts, with no single one covering most of it — Osborn Elementary District is the most frequently listed at 55% of sales. District boundaries do not follow ZIP boundaries, so the assignment has to be checked address by address here.
Is 85012 served by APS or SRP?
APS. Arizona Public Service's certificated service territory covers effectively all of ZIP code 85012. Service territory follows historical boundaries rather than ZIP codes, so check the address.
Is any part of 85012 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 85012 contains FEMA zone A. 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 85012?
ZIP code 85012 borders 85004, 85006, 85013, 85014, 85020, and 85021.
