Woodlea Historic District – one of 5 Historic Districts in Phoenix Zip Code 85013 – was developed between 1929 and 1945, with most of the homes constructed after 1940. The other historic districts in this zip code are Yaple Park, Medlock Place Pierson Place,  and Campus Vista.

This is a neighborhood of large lots with small “storybook” homes averaging about 1,200 to 1,300 square feet in size. There were 175 homes built in Woodlea and most of them are of the Transitional Early Ranch style, but a few were constructed in the Tudor style.

Woodlea Historic District is a diverse and well-kept community, with homes boasting either lush green mature plantings surrounded by trees, or desert landscaping. The people are diverse as well, with a mix of  young families, senior citizens, and everyone in between. Some residents are the original homeowners, and a few are 2nd and 3rd generation Woodlea residents.

Located a few blocks north of Indian School Road, Woodlea lies just west of 7th Avenue – which has become a cultural and small business destination. Artists’s studios, boutiques, music shops and restaurants inhabit historic buildings, offering a bit of nostalgia to the hustle and bustle of business enterprises.
