CityNorth – 5315 E High Street in Phoenix

Year Built: 2009

Located in Desert Ridge, across from the JW Marriott on the southwest corner of 56th Street and Deer Valley Road (just east and behind Desert Ridge MarketPlace). The developers of CityNorth are attempting to create a new city within a city in Phoenix’s Northeast Valley. This place is HUGE with over 5 million square feet of mixed-use space. To put that into perspective, Phase 1 of CityNorth will be approximately four times larger than Kierland Commons!

When we say mixed-use we mean tons of restaurants, boutiques, major shopping icons like Nordstrom’s and Bloomingdale’s, office space, ultimately two hotels, cultural and civic events, and many many condominiums and lofts all in a very pedestrian-friendly setting.

CityNorth is surrounded by some of the strongest housing growth in the country and the highest incomes in Phoenix. It offers unparalleled access. And, it is entitled with the highest density and widest range of uses outside of downtown Phoenix.

As with the retail and dining components, CityNorth offers an array of urban residential options integrated with the project’s other uses. Townhomes, luxury high-rise condominiums, and “in-town” apartments above retail shops and restaurants are all in the mix.

Walkability Rating: 55 – You might be able to get out and walk when living in this area. Some errands can be accomplished on foot, but for others you’ll need a car.
