Garfield Historic District AuxBlox
Think inside the Block™ — thoughtful density inside Phoenix's most walkable downtown block
Three AuxBlox Units, One Block
The Garfield Historic District represents one of Phoenix's most successful urban infill opportunities. Our proposal places three AuxBlox units on a single block, demonstrating how small-format modular construction can address Arizona's deepening housing shortage while honoring neighborhood character.
This approach aligns with the City of Phoenix's Garfield Redevelopment Plan, which specifically calls for residential infill development that strengthens the tax base while minimizing sprawl. Each 10×40-foot unit maintains the classic American Craftsman Bungalow aesthetic with welcoming front porches—the same architectural language celebrated in recent City-backed Garfield projects.
Why This Works
Affordable Housing Crisis
Addresses Phoenix's critical need for attainable downtown housing options
Walkable Urban Lifestyle
Garfield is Phoenix's most walkable neighborhood with easy transit access
Historic Compatibility
Bungalow features respect the neighborhood's Craftsman heritage
Efficient Land Use
Maximizes underutilized urban parcels without sprawling into desert
Tax Base Enhancement
Infill strengthens city revenue while reducing infrastructure costs
The Case for Thoughtful Density
Proven Precedent: Recent City of Phoenix projects in Garfield—including Trellis Community Development's 10 single-family homes and Garfield Terrace senior housing—demonstrate official support for infill development that honors historic character while adding needed housing.
Scale & Context: Three compact 400-square-foot units on one lot create the same density as a small apartment building, but with individual entrances, porches, and architectural charm that matches surrounding bungalows.
Anti-Sprawl Solution: Every scraped urban lot redeveloped with quality infill housing is one less acre of Sonoran Desert paved over. Garfield's existing infrastructure—roads, utilities, transit—already exists.
Community Strength: Adding residents who can walk to Roosevelt Row, local businesses, and light rail creates a self-reinforcing cycle of neighborhood vitality and economic resilience.
