Considerably. Across the neighborhoods in ZIP code 85023 with enough sales to measure, median prices run from roughly $280K to $830K, a spread of about 3x. 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 85023 in?
Every home sold in ZIP code 85023 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 85023?
Washington Elementary School District serves most of ZIP code 85023 — it is the district listed on 62% of homes sold over the past year. The high school most often listed is Thunderbird High School. District boundaries do not follow ZIP boundaries, so confirm the assignment for a specific address before relying on it.
How much do manufactured homes cost in 85023?
Manufactured and mobile homes are a distinct market here, and ZIP code 85023 has a sizeable one: 6% of sales, at a median of $64,950 across 20 sales. Site-built homes are counted separately, at $430,000. 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 85023 served by APS or SRP?
APS. Arizona Public Service's certificated service territory covers effectively all of ZIP code 85023. Service territory follows historical boundaries rather than ZIP codes, so check the address.
Is any part of 85023 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 85023 contains FEMA zones A, 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 85023?
ZIP code 85023 borders 85022, 85027, 85029, and 85053.
