lthough few condominium and townhome communities in Greater Phoenix are officially zoned for “live/work,” the concept of living in the same unit as your office continues to increase in popularity.

All the townhomes, she said, are zoned for a home-business operation and are adjacent to 8,000 square-feet of retail space on the ground floor of the loft building. SOHO townhomes and lofts range in size from 2,243 to almost 4,000 square-feet and are priced from $485,000.

The development has seven units specifically zoned for live/work on the first floor. The remaining available live/work units start at $455,000. One of the goals for en Hance Park, explained Gonzalo Barroilhet, the project manager for the community, is to help the neighborhood become a destination. “A neighborhood connects itself when people are out on the street,” he said. “When vibrant businesses establish themselves here, they contribute to the esthetic for those on foot in the area.” Selling fast A nearby townhome community called Coronado Commons has three units still available for purchase.

Downsizing into the next chapter of life Condominium buyers attracted to ‘lock and leave’ lifestyle By Meghann Finn Sepulveda
A
fter spending 25 years in their Chandler home, Doug and Janet Schwab were on the verge of retirement and thinking about downsizing. Their two adult daughters were raising their own families and it made sense to find a home that required little maintenance so they could travel more. Last November, the couple purchased a condominium at Serenity Fulton Ranch, just seven miles south of the neighborhood they had enjoyed for so many years. Rich in amenities Although Janet struggled with the decision to leave the home where she created many fond memories with her family, she was intrigued when a friend told her about Serenity Fulton Ranch, a condominium villa community in Chandler. “Doug and I walked the property on a Saturday and purchased the condo two days later,” Janet said. “The views of the lake were beautiful and the community is very nicely landscaped.” Along with close proximity to shopping and dining, the community’s

Coronado in Phoenix — is designed for owners with home-based businesses, said David Newcombe, a broker who represents Coronado Commons. Units there start in the high $400,000s. A typical three-story townhome floorplan — with its own garage, front door, office and ground-floor bathroom — is ideal for a home-based business, Newcombe said. “With living quarters upstairs, it’s easy to separate your domestic life from your professional life,” he added. Downtown luxury A luxury brownstone community at Palm Lane and Central Avenue in Phoenix, once called Chateau on Central, was recently renamed The Arris. A collection of 21 residences starting at 5,200 square-feet and priced from $950,000, the community

clubhouse, pool, spa, walking paths and fitness center all appealed to the Schwabs. Plenty of space The Schwabs, who downsized from a 2,600-square-foot home, wanted enough space for their grandchildren and outof-town guests. “We purchased a threebedroom, 1,800-square-foot condo,” Janet said. “It’s the perfect size.” Maintenance-free living One thing that attracted the Schwabs to Serenity Fulton Ranch was the ability to have a ‘lock and leave’ lifestyle. “We travel often and didn’t want to worry about leaving our home for an extended period of time,” Janet said. “I can’t tell you how happy we are.”
is zoned for urban residential. This “affords a variety of opportunities for the entrepreneur,” said Nakia Clark, vice president of MSI West Investments, the community’s developer. Clark said that live/work is best characterized as “street access in an urban setting that can accommodate your target client yet keep your work life separate from your home life.” Nine of The Arris residences have been sold; each unit has five stories and is equipped with its own commercial-grade elevator, Clark said. Abundant advantages Newcombe said the greatest advantages of a live/work community are a “zero commute” and consolidation of space. “And if a community, like one designed for live/ work, has synergy with your business, you’re likelier to have a more profitable business,” he said.
