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 85051 in?
Every home sold in ZIP code 85051 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 85051?
Washington Elementary School District serves most of ZIP code 85051 — it is the district listed on 95% of homes sold over the past year. District boundaries do not follow ZIP boundaries, so confirm the assignment for a specific address before relying on it.
Is 85051 served by APS or SRP?
Both, depending where. About 15% of ZIP code 85051 falls inside APS's certificated territory and the rest does not — the boundary runs through this ZIP rather than around it. Service territory follows historical boundaries rather than ZIP codes, so check the address.
Is any part of 85051 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 85051 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 85051?
ZIP code 85051 borders 85015, 85017, 85019, 85021, 85029, 85301, 85302, and 85304.
