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 85396 in?
Every home sold in ZIP code 85396 over the past year carried a Buckeye 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 85396?
ZIP code 85396 is split across 8 school districts, with no single one covering most of it — Litchfield Elementary District is the most frequently listed at 36% of sales. District boundaries do not follow ZIP boundaries, so the assignment has to be checked address by address here.
How much do manufactured homes cost in 85396?
Manufactured and mobile homes are a distinct market here, and ZIP code 85396 has a sizeable one: 1% of sales, at a median of $390,000 across 14 sales. Site-built homes are counted separately, at $452,125. 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 85396 served by APS or SRP?
APS. Arizona Public Service's certificated service territory covers effectively all of ZIP code 85396. Service territory follows historical boundaries rather than ZIP codes, so check the address.
Is any part of 85396 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 85396 contains FEMA zones A, A (Administrative Floodway), AE, AE (Floodway), 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 85396?
ZIP code 85396 borders 85326, 85338, 85340, 85354, 85361, and 85395.
