The official big picture
15 Urban Villages make up Phoenix.
Urban Villages are the City’s official planning areas. Choose one to understand the larger geography, then open the neighborhood guides within it.
Urban Village boundaries are official City of Phoenix planning geography. Neighborhood names and boundaries can be informal and may vary by source; the neighborhood view uses exact City planning overlays or registered neighborhood-area outlines where available and leaves unmapped gaps intact. Neither view is a legal boundary, parcel map, or navigation tool. Map data adapted from the City of Phoenix Urban Villages service, Planning Overlays service, Neighborhood Associations service, Major and Minor Streets service, and Freeway service.
