Around Roosevelt Row Arts District
This district runs from Van Buren Street, north to McDowell Road. The southern portion of Roosevelt is mostly industrial, so most of the residential options are concentrated along the northern part of the neighborhood. Architectural styles include California and American Craftsmen, Tudor, Spanish Colonial, and a smattering of 1930s and 40s ranch-style homes. There are also newer condominium buildings with a full slate of amenities in the area.
Most of the hip eateries lie on Roosevelt Row (RoRo) in the heart of the district along Roosevelt, stretching from 7th Avenue to 16th Street. Sushi spots, creperies, cafes, and restaurants with dynamic flavors offer diners places to indulge day and night. Most of the restaurants are open until late at night, which allows residents to walk RoRo after the sun goes down during the summer.
Tall palm trees, grassy lawns, and recently renovated homes set back from the street are common scenes. Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, dominates the skyline -- it's especially striking when its retractable roof is closed. There are also several parks, including a traditional Japanese garden and a dog park, in addition to a couple of schools, art galleries, and museums, making Roosevelt a destination for locals and tourists alike.
First Friday, which sees the local galleries and venues open their doors, has been a resounding success for the Roosevelt neighborhood and the nearby Warehouse District. Streets come to life on all Friday nights with art galleries, shows, live music, and trendy bars. Combined with the late-night hours at RoRo, residents and visitors don't lack for TGIF entertainment. The light rail stations that connect Phoenix to Tempe and farther west simplifies transportation for Friday night partiers and those who are parallel-parking averse.
The Burton Barr Public Library and the surrounding Japanese Friendship Garden and Margaret T. Hance Park are all within an easy bike ride or walk and have plenty of activities for children and adults alike. Hiking and mountain bike trails on Camelback Mountain, South Mountain Park, and the Dreamy Draw Recreation area take just minutes to reach by car. The Phoenix Art and Heard Museums keep Sunday hours and there are several local movie theaters.
