Windemere is one of Lower Arcadia’s most distinctive mid-century neighborhoods, featuring homes designed and built by Ralph Haver between 1954 and 1955. The community reflects Haver’s evolving modernist vocabulary, combining clean rooflines with thoughtful variations in window placement, entry sequencing, and patio design.
Buyers are drawn to Windemere for its architectural character, generous lot sizes, and mature tree canopy. The neighborhood balances mid-century integrity with the comfort and scale today’s buyers expect.
Windemere homes typically offer three to four bedrooms and two to three bathrooms, ranging from approximately 1,348 to 2,964 square feet. Several elevations appear throughout the neighborhood, distinguished by varied window groupings, covered front patios, and integrated carport configurations.
Haver’s signature elements are present: low horizontal rooflines, clerestory glazing, indoor-outdoor transitions, and restrained material palettes. While many homes have been updated or expanded, the underlying architectural language remains cohesive.
Located just west of Arcadia High School in Lower Arcadia, Windemere sits in one of Phoenix’s most desirable corridors. Residents enjoy proximity to Arcadia dining, the Biltmore corridor, and Old Town Scottsdale, while maintaining a quiet residential setting defined by mature landscaping and wide streets.
