The Alvarado historic district is located along the intersection of Monte Vista and Alvarado roads and extends northward to the Oak Street alignment, east to 3rd Street, and south to Palm Lane. 

This peaceful stretch of historical homes is less than one-quarter mile in length. Within that quarter-mile, a collection of 30 homes comprise the compact neighborhood called "East Alvarado" -  a neighborhood whose evolution traces the history of Phoenix and illustrates a pivotal phase in the development of both the Valley and the nation.

Period of Significance was from 1907-1933.
