41st Place and McDowell

The first known example of the Town and Country style neighborhood design was designed by Ralph Haver and built by Fred Woodworth in 1956. It is situated firmly between Phoenix and South Scottsdale near the Miracle Mile area of development that extended from Central Phoenix out toward its sister city. It was marketed at the time as "The Home with a Future". Kitchens were U-shaped, and the patio-port was marketed as Spanish in styling. The poured concrete patios feature the same redwood grille pattern as the trellis style patio cover above. Some homes also feature clinker brick style wainscoting or Superlite Shado-wal detail. Models started at 1505 square feet for 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for $12,500 – $15,700. Few homes have been altered in ways that would disqualify them for historic designation. It has an active neighborhood association and is an attractive destination for prospective homeowners seeking unaltered Haver homes.
