HOMES MLS SEARCH
Many find the beauty of an
Phoenix historic home as every
one is different and unique, and
you find many of the GLBT
community residing in these
areas.

curvilinear streetscape. A drive

Where is Gay Phoenix?
Phoenix, unlike other major
metropolitan areas that have
GLBT neighborhoods such as
Boystown of Chicago, or Chelsea
of New York City, or Hillcrest
of San Diego, does not have
these type of neighborhoods.
Most GLBT Phoenicians like to
spread out, and the mainstream
get to see us everywhere.
However, most of the GLBT
community activity is based in
the central Phoenix area. The
base area is the southern point
of McDowell, north to Bethany
Home, West from 7th Ave., and
east to 7th Street. There has
been much progress as more
GLBTowned businesses are opening
on 7th Ave., from Indian School
to Camelback, on 3rd Street from
Osborn to Indian School, and 7th
Street from Indian School to
just north of Camelback. Please
see the fold out map in the
tourism section for more detail.
Easy to Find and Get Around
The streets of this
car-dependent city are easy to
navigate, thanks to their
gridlike pattern. Think of
Central Avenue, which runs
north-south, as the dividing
line. Parallel streets to the
west are numbered as avenues –
3rd Ave., 7th Ave., etc.
Parallel roads to the east are
numbered as streets – 3rd
Street, 7th Street, etc.
