Willo District
Yes, it’s actually spelled “Willo” and not “Willow”. Willo Historical district received it’s name by combining the two voting districts that make up the area – the Wilshire and Los Olivos.
When you hear the word “Willo” in Phoenix, your mind immediately thinks classic 1920’s bungalows, bright paint colors, on the most charming of streets. It’s true, the homes in the district look like the furthest thing from today’s tract stucco homes so common in Phoenix. This Phoenix district is by far one of the most popular historic districts along with Encanto-
