Considerably. Across the neighborhoods in ZIP code 85020 with enough sales to measure, median prices run from roughly $220K to $1.3M, a spread of about 6x. 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 85020 in?
Every home sold in ZIP code 85020 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 85020?
ZIP code 85020 is split across 4 school districts, with no single one covering most of it — Washington Elementary School District is the most frequently listed at 46% of sales. District boundaries do not follow ZIP boundaries, so the assignment has to be checked address by address here.
How much do manufactured homes cost in 85020?
Manufactured and mobile homes are a distinct market here, and ZIP code 85020 has a sizeable one: 2% of sales, at a median of $33,333 across 11 sales. Site-built homes are counted separately, at $425,000. The two are not directly comparable — many manufactured homes sit on leased land, so the price covers the home and not the ground under it.
Is 85020 served by APS or SRP?
APS. Arizona Public Service's certificated service territory covers effectively all of ZIP code 85020. Service territory follows historical boundaries rather than ZIP codes, so check the address.
Is any part of 85020 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 85020 contains FEMA zones A, AE, AE (Floodway), AO. 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 85020?
ZIP code 85020 borders 85012, 85013, 85014, 85016, 85021, 85022, 85028, and 85029.
