Willo Home Tour is an annual event that provides many opportunities to both the residents of Willo and those who do not have the privilege of living in our neighborhood. The home tour promotes our neighborhood through the advertising both at local establishments and in the media. The positive attention that comes from the tour only helps to alert the public to what a desirable area Willo is and has brought many anew resident to Willo.
The participating homeowners are given an entire day of praise and pats on the back for all their hard work and love that they have poured into their homes. Additionally, the monies raised from this event enable our community to pursue neighborhood improvements including but not limited to traffic mitigation, community wide activities, the Willo web site, as well as subsequent Willo Home Tours.
Clearly, Willo Home Tour is a winwin situation for all. Between twelve and fourteen homes open their doors to the public the Sunday before Valentine's Day. Once a year, the residents of the Willo Historic District put out the "welcome mat" and open their homes to Valley visitors. A variety of homes from Tudor to Spanish Revival - Bungalow to Ranch style homes dating from the 1920's through the 1940's will be on tour.
Stroll Willo's tree lined streets from house to house, or jump a trolley that will carry visitors throughout the neighborhood. One of Phoenix's most beautiful, historic neighborhoods, Willo is just west of Central Avenue between Thomas and McDowell Roads from 1st to 7th Avenues.
Don't miss this fun-filled opportunity to visit architecturally significant, finely decorated homes while supporting Phoenix's largest historic district.
