Neighborhood

Do you see adventures on the horizon? Then you should consider moving to Papago, a large Phoenix neighborhood just north of Sky Harbor International Airport. And speaking of horizon, you can gaze out at a spectacular red-and-gold sunrise from inside the famous sandstone Hole-in-the-Rock caverns at Glen Canyon.

Red sandstone formations encompass Papago Park. The park is a favorite hiking destination for locals, and it houses the Phoenix Zoo and Desert Botanical Garden. During the garden’s Las Noches de las Luminarias festival, visitors are delighted by hundreds of glowing paper lanterns illuminating the various gardens at night.

Locals enjoy Papago’s convienient access to Phoenix’s art and culture museums as well as major roadways. Shopping in the area includes stores such as Target, Burlington, and Ross. So what are you waiting for? It’s time for you to Papa-go get your apartment.
