SAY NO TO WRECKLESS DEVELOPMENT

East Shea Boulevard & SR 51, Phoenix, Arizona

A rezoning application has been filed by an outside developer to demolish the existing office building and replace it with 169 - 200 multi bedroom apartments at the northeast of corner of Shea Blvd. & SR51.

 

This overdevelopment is a hostile intrusion on our neighborhood. Join our fight and save the Sheaborhood!

 

Our Story

Since the 1960s and '70s, families have built their dreams here - single-family homes on generous lots, quiet cul-de-sacs where children can safely ride their bikes, and neighbors who know one another by name.

Back then, life was simple and full: a walk to the park, a quick drive to local shops, a friendly wave from the front porch. Today, those same values remain at the heart of who we are.

 

Our Neighborhood Today

We're a vibrant mix of small businesses and homeowners who care deeply about this place. We're steps from the trails of North Mountain, minutes from the highway and shopping, yet worlds away from the rush of city life. Realtors call it a hidden gem — and they're right.

But to us, it's more than that. It's where families grow, where generations stay, and where the spirit of home endures.

 

Our Future

Today, our neighborhood faces a serious challenge: the proposed rezoning that threatens to change the very character of our community. We understand that growth is part of any city's future- and we welcome it. But we believe that responsible growth must honor the history and fabric of the neighborhoods that built this city. It must also recognize the enormous strain our aging infrastructure is already facing — particularly from traffic — and not compound those challenges.

Any plan for growth should help us address these realities, strengthen our shared foundation, and ensure that the families who live and work here can continue to thrive for generations to come.
