What city is 85118 in?
Most of ZIP code 85118 carries a Gold Canyon address — 98% of homes sold over the past year — but the ZIP spans 2 municipalities, so a mailing address here does not settle which city a given home is in.

Manufactured and mobile homes are a distinct market here, and ZIP code 85118 has a sizeable one: 4% of sales, at a median of $199,000 across 22 sales. Site-built homes are counted separately, at $479,500. 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 85118 served by APS or SRP?
Not APS — its certificated territory does not extend into ZIP code 85118. Most of the metro outside APS is served by SRP, but the filing this comes from defines APS's own boundary and does not name whoever serves the remainder, so confirm with the provider. Service territory follows historical boundaries rather than ZIP codes, so check the address.
Is any part of 85118 in a flood zone?
No. No Special Flood Hazard Area — the 1%-annual-chance zones that trigger a lender's flood insurance requirement — is mapped anywhere inside ZIP code 85118, which puts it among the minority of Phoenix-area ZIPs with none at all. FEMA revises these maps, so a purchase should still confirm the current determination for the address.
What ZIP codes border 85118?
ZIP code 85118 borders 85119 and 85173.
