IDEAL HOME SITES.
Two Localities Possessing EN-
inent Advantages.
Inside Property With All Convent
ences Sold at Suburban
Property Prices.

There are two suburban districts of
Phoenix just now attracting the atten-
tion of spectators and those desiring to
establish homes. 1t is hardly proper to
speak of them though as suburban dis
tricts, for one lies along Washington
street, only seven blocks east of the
heart of the city, and the other just
seven blocks west. What suggested the
word suburban" though was the price
asked for the property. The prices are
strictly suburban. One of these is
Kirkland & Strong's ub-division, seven
blocks east of Center street and living
between Washington and Adams. 1t
has only recently been put on the mar
ket and already investments have been
numerous, mostly by those desiring
permanent and pleasant homes.
Trees are being set out and residence
structures of good and substantial
character erected. There are manv
reasons why this opportunity should
be seized with avidity. 1t is second to
no part OF the city in respectabillty of

nix. The subdivision lies adjoining
the East End school and the electric
street railway passes by it.
Electric light and telephone wires are
strung through it and the mains of the
water works company are laid along it.
The altitude, too, is something to be
taken into consideration, as it insures
superior advantages with respect to
health. For these reasons it becomes
an ideal home district.
The other locality inviting atten-
tion is. Richmond Place, lying along
Fifth avenue and the Black canon road,
four squares north of Washington
street. Upon one side of it lies the
famous Orchard Place and on all sides
it is surrounded by pretentious and
long established homes, It, too, is
conveniently situated with respect to
street car facilities. The neigh borhood
is thoroughly respectable and the
thoroughfares in the vicinity are we'll

now unsold IN this district. Both
