El Encanto Tucson
El Encanto is a National Historic District
Located in the central portion of Tucson, Arizona, the El Encanto Estates Residential Historic District (1929-1941) is comprised of 145 exclusive single family residences displaying excellent examples of Period Revival and mid-twentieth century styles within a distinctly unique subdivision plan. The formal, geometric subdivision plat is one of the first in Arizona to incorporate a symmetrical, curvilinear layout (wagon wheel design). The subdivision plat includes a centrally located circular park with streets radiating to the well defined edges of the district.

Landscape forms are a major cohesive entity within the district, walling and edging has been used in a highly formal manner, unifying each street. The implementation of early comprehensive deed restrictions restricted construction to specific styles, creating architectural compatibility and cohesion within the district boundaries. The community plan, landscaping forms, and architecturally significant residential structures combine to create a distinct, cohesive historic district with a visible sense of time and place.

The planners of El Encanto designed their plat like a wheel. A center hub nature park lined with Royal Palm Trees. A charming Tucson neighborhood of 143 homes priced from $600,000 to $1 million+.
