About Camelback

East

Camelback East, located between Piestewa Peak and Papago Park, is a residential and commercial Phoenix neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and mountain-framed desert views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around 40th Street and Camelback Road, where patios, boutiques, and coffee counters set a steady, walkable rhythm. The Henry anchors the scene with a polished dining room and lively bar. The global galleries and design-forward campus at Phoenix Art Museum add cultural gravity nearby. Arcadia’s citrus-era grid and Biltmore-area modernism shape the architecture, from low-slung homes to sleek condos. Trailheads and canal paths thread daily routines with outdoor time.

ARCADIA CAMELBACK SPD

Single-Family Residence District

A basic purpose of these regulations is to foster the creation of living areas which can assist the establishment of stable, functional neighborhoods. An established pattern of living in this metropolitan area reflects a tradition of single-family occupied dwellings which also emphasize outdoor living. Many of these dwellings are thereby located on relatively large urban or suburban lots; These regulations provide standards for dwellings built at low and moderate densities. While the predominant housing type is expected to be single-family dwelling, provisions are made for alternative housing types within the same density limits.
