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 85205 in?
Every home sold in ZIP code 85205 over the past year carried a Mesa 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 85205?

How much do manufactured homes cost in 85205?
Manufactured and mobile homes are a distinct market here, and ZIP code 85205 has a sizeable one: 3% of sales, at a median of $70,000 across 15 sales. Site-built homes are counted separately, at $390,000. 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 85205 served by APS or SRP?
Not APS — its certificated territory does not extend into ZIP code 85205. 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 85205 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 85205 contains FEMA zones A, AE, AH. 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 85205?
ZIP code 85205 borders 85204, 85206, 85207, 85213, and 85215.
