Downtown Flagstaff and the Historic Districts

Downtown Flagstaff and the historic residential districts beside it are where the city started. The Townsite sits west and northwest of the downtown core along Cherry, Dale, Aspen, and Birch Avenues, with bungalows and craftsman cottages from the late 1800s and early 1900s. The North End runs north along Humphreys and San Francisco Streets, with homes mostly from the 1940s to 1960s, and it has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986. Downtown itself is condos and mixed-use buildings around the historic core, with a few small single-family homes.

We love helping people buy here, because the buyers who want downtown want it for the right reasons: walkability, history, and a house with a story.

The market is small and split by product. Over the last twelve months the MLS shows 27 closings in the Townsite and Old Town areas: 11 single-family, 2 townhomes, 13 condos, 1 modular. Single-family homes sold between $425,000 and $1,500,000, with a median of $850,000 and the middle half between about $721,000 and $1,100,000. The median build year of those homes was 1944, the oldest of any neighborhood in our guide. Condos, townhomes, and the modular ranged from $300,000 to $1,100,000. Median days on market for houses was 50.

The trade you make here is square footage for walkability. Heritage Square, the Community Market, Wheeler Park, Lowell Observatory, and the restaurants and breweries are all on foot, and the hospital is about a mile away. Downtown paid parking went to $2 an hour on August 1, 2026, and the Townsite has a residential parking permit area, which matters if you have guests or a second car.
