Villa Verde Historic District is a suburban neighborhood located approximately two miles northwest of downtown Phoenix. The district is notable in that no two of its houses exhibit the same design. The developer designed each small cottage and bungalow in Villa Verde with a unique architectural style, and as a result the neighborhood is distinctive in Phoenix. Villa Verde Historic District is approximately 20 acres in size and contains 108 resources, all but two of which are small custom-designed houses built between 1928 and 1940. There is one house built after 1940 and one commercial property in the district. Of the resources, 91 (84%) are considered contributing, and 17 (16%) are noncontributing. The district corresponds to the Villa Verde subdivisions platted in 1928 and 1930. The boundaries of the National Register district correspond to the boundaries of the Phoenix local historic district of the same name. See source for more details.
