North Mountain Village is the City of Phoenix urban village in north-central Phoenix, roughly between Northern Avenue and Greenway Road, with I-17 on its west side and SR-51 near its east side. The Phoenix Mountains Preserve, including North Mountain and Shaw Butte, sits in the middle of it. The village is largely built out, with neighborhoods from nearly every decade: older homes in Sunnyslope, mid-century ranch homes, the Moon Valley area, and hillside homes near the preserve.
Because the village is so varied, I price your home against recent sales in your own neighborhood and of a similar age, size and condition, not against a village-wide average.
Neighborhood and street. Streets near the preserve, on the hillsides or in sought-after pockets of Sunnyslope and Moon Valley command more.
View and lot. Mountain and city-light views, larger lots and preserve access draw strong interest.
Age and updates. Older homes vary widely, so documented updates to plumbing, electrical, roof and AC make a clear difference.
Permitted work. Additions and conversions in older homes need permits buyers’ lenders and appraisers will ask about.
Sunnyslope. One of Phoenix’s older neighborhoods, below the hillside “S,” with homes ranging from small older houses to renovated and newer infill homes. Condition and street drive price, and view lots stand out.
Moon Valley. At the north end of the village around the private Moon Valley Country Club, with larger lots and many 1960s through 1980s homes. Golf membership is separate from owning a home.
Hillside and preserve-edge homes. Homes near North Mountain, Shaw Butte and the Pointe Tapatio area draw buyers who want trail access and views.
Mid-century neighborhoods. Ranch homes from the 1950s through 1970s appeal to buyers looking for space and a central location; updates and permits matter most.
Much of North Mountain Village is in the Washington Elementary School District and the Glendale Union High School District, but some areas are served by other districts. Buyers should confirm the schools for a specific address with each district. In a listing, I point buyers to the district school locators rather than promising a specific school.
I-17 runs along the west side of the village and SR-51 near the east side, so downtown Phoenix, Sky Harbor and the north Phoenix job centers are a short freeway drive from most homes. Valley Metro Rail reaches the area along 19th Avenue at its northern end. I include realistic drive times from your address in the listing.
My marketing includes a Zillow 3D Home tour, a dedicated property website, live virtual showings and, when it helps, a Coming Soon period before the first showing.

No. North Mountain Village is a City of Phoenix urban village, a planning area rather than a separate town, so homes there are in the City of Phoenix with city services.
Sunnyslope, the Moon Valley area and the hillside neighborhoods near North Mountain and Shaw Butte are among the best known, along with many mid-century ranch neighborhoods. I market a home by its specific neighborhood, since each has its own buyers.
I-17 and SR-51 both serve the village, so downtown Phoenix and Sky Harbor are a short freeway drive from most addresses, and light rail reaches the area’s northwest side. I give buyers realistic times from your address.
