City of Flagstaff rules; no HOA layer
Upper Greenlaw is inside city limits, so the City of Flagstaff's short-term rental license applies: $250 a year, an Arizona TPT license, notice to adjacent, across-the-street, and diagonal neighbors with a 24-hour emergency contact, $500,000 in liability insurance, a sex-offender registry check before each stay, required equipment, and hotel-rate sales and BBB taxes. ADUs that received a Certificate of Occupancy after September 14, 2024 require the owner to live on the property. No HOA was found here and none of the recent sales listed one, so the City's rules are usually the whole picture.

Upper Greenlaw is the northern, hillier section of the Greenlaw area. A local brokerage says the area is named for the Greenlaw brothers, early Flagstaff lumbermen, places Upper Greenlaw north of Lockett Road with Lower Greenlaw to the south toward Route 66, and describes most homes as built with masonry walls. Streets such as Tindle Boulevard, Schevene Boulevard, Walker Street, and Alta Vista Drive are lined with ranch-style homes and mature trees.
Upper Greenlaw appeals to buyers who want a detached home inside city limits without an HOA. We help them weigh how much updating a home has had against the price, because that's where these homes differ most.
