- Considerably. Across the neighborhoods in ZIP code 85050 with enough sales to measure, median prices run from roughly $340K to $1.6M, a spread of about 5x. 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 85050 in?
- Every home sold in ZIP code 85050 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 85050?
- Paradise Valley Unified District serves most of ZIP code 85050 — it is the district listed on 100% of homes sold over the past year. The high school most often listed is Pinnacle 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 85050?
- Manufactured and mobile homes are a distinct market here, and ZIP code 85050 has a sizeable one: 11% of sales, at a median of $152,500 across 59 sales. Site-built homes are counted separately, at $610,000. 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 85050 served by APS or SRP?
- APS. Arizona Public Service's certificated service territory covers effectively all of ZIP code 85050. Service territory follows historical boundaries rather than ZIP codes, so check the address.
- Is any part of 85050 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 85050 contains FEMA zones A, AE, AO, D. 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 85050?
- ZIP code 85050 borders 85024, 85032, 85054, 85254, 85255, and 85331.
