1. Why the Biltmore Area Matters

Since the Arizona Biltmore Hotel opened in 1929—soon dubbed the “Jewel of the Desert”—this pocket around 24th Street & Camelback has defined Phoenix prestige. Gated estates, fairway mansions, and view-rich high-rise condos share leafy streetscapes with world-class shopping, dining, and two championship golf courses. Tranquil yet cosmopolitan, the Biltmore delivers resort living minutes from the city’s business core.
