The story of the Los Olivos Historic District
How the area came to be.
Dwight B. Heard platted the 160 acre Los Olivos Subdivision in 1906 as 32 five acre parcels, named for the olive trees along Monte Vista Road. He re-subdivided it in 1909 into 54 smaller lots, adding Coronado and Monte Vista roads, and the 1913 Los Olivos Resubdivided plat created the lots in today's district.
Heard used deed restrictions and minimum building costs to keep it upscale. It is one of the few intact remnants of the original subdivision.

Before you buy
Properties inside a City of Phoenix HP overlay district need Historic Preservation review (a Certificate of Appropriateness) for most exterior work, new construction and demolition; interior work is generally not reviewed. Confirm the specific parcel is inside the HP overlay and whether it is contributing. Phoenix requires short term rental permits under its own ordinance; state law limits how far cities can restrict STRs. Older homes: check for original electrical, cast iron or clay sewer laterals, and irrigation rights (SRP flood irrigation is common in central Phoenix historic neighborhoods). All of this is address specific.
