Moon Valley

Phoenix, AZ

A quiet north-side golf-course neighbourhood with 1970s custom homes, mature landscaping, and a more moderate price point than Arcadia or Biltmore. Median home values sit at $355K — below the Phoenix-metro median — and the neighbourhood is home to roughly 8,882 residents with a median household income near $89K.

Prices are up 7.7% year-over-year — one of the faster-appreciating pockets in the metro. Rents average around $4,050/month, and 82% of homes are owner-occupied. Demographically, the area skews toward a younger, singles-and-couples-leaning demographic, with a typical-for-the-metro commute of 22 minutes and 81% of adult residents holding a bachelor's degree or higher.

On the lifestyle side, Moon Valley is car-dependent, though a cluster of neighbourhood shops softens the edges (Walk Score 44). Inside the neighbourhood footprint OpenStreetMap counts 37 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 grocery stores, and 7 parks — the kind of day-to-day density that shapes how it actually feels to live here, beyond the price tag.
