Arroyo Rojo: Homes in the 85024 ZIP Code

A late-1990s single-family community in 85024 with a range of home sizes.

Living in Arroyo Rojo

Arroyo Rojo is a single-family community in North Phoenix's 85024 ZIP code, just north of the Loop 101, off 7th Street. Homes date to the late 1990s and include one- and two-story designs, generally with three to four bedrooms.

The name is Spanish for "red wash," an arroyo being the dry desert creek bed that fills after a storm. How the community got its name is not known. Arroyo Rojo has its own neighborhood park and sits right next to Eagle Summit. Scarlett Canyon Preserve, a large natural desert open space with hiking trails, sits between Arroyo Rojo, Eagle Summit and Scarlett Canyon.

The community has a homeowners association (HOA). Buyers should review the current dues, what they cover and the community rules before making an offer.

How I help Arroyo Rojo buyers and sellers

85024 is one of my four focus ZIP codes. I am an Associate Broker with Coldwell Banker Realty, licensed since 2003, and I serve Greater Phoenix.

With a wide range of home sizes in one community, the right comparisons matter. A seller's best comparisons are the homes most similar in size, layout and condition, not every sale in the neighborhood. Buyers benefit from the same care. My four steps, Prepare, Inform, Coordinate and Adjust, keep those comparisons clear. See how I help you buy.

What to look for

Homes built in the late 1990s may be due for updates to roofs, air conditioning and water heaters, so those deserve attention during an inspection. For sellers, knowing their condition up front helps you decide whether to address them before listing or price with them in mind.

Specific situations have their own pages, including selling your home and buying your first home. Nearby, compare Eagle Summit and Desert Ridge.

Getting around

The Loop 101, Interstate 17 and State Route 51 are all close by, connecting Arroyo Rojo to the rest of the Valley, and shopping and dining at Desert Ridge and the Shops at Norterra are a short drive away.
