|---|---|---|
| Where | Downtown Phoenix is the city center between roughly 7th Avenue and 7th Street from McDowell Road south to the railroad tracks near Jackson Street. | The Biltmore area is the north-central Phoenix district around 24th Street and Camelback Road, named for the Arizona Biltmore resort just north of the Camelback corridor. |
| Housing types | Downtown housing is mostly high-rise and mid-rise condos and apartments, loft conversions, and historic bungalows in districts such as Roosevelt and Evans Churchill at the edges of the core. | The Biltmore area mixes mid-rise and high-rise condos along Camelback Road, townhome and patio-home communities, and single-family homes around the resort golf courses and up into the Phoenix Mountains foothills. |
