**This is a no smoking/vaping condo**

If you have never stayed in this Phoenix neighborhood, you are in for a treat. Located between 24th and 32nd Street, just north of Camelback Road, the Biltmore is known as the city’s most acclaimed neighborhood and most coveted residential area where pristine homes shoulder up against a bustling upscale shopping and financial district, the storied and prestigious Biltmore Hotel & Spa, and two perfectly manicured, 18 hole championship golf courses. It is the kind of place anyone from around the world would consider a vacation destination.

The New York Times referred to the Biltmore neighborhood as “elegant desert dwelling with a Midwest touch.”  It’s most certainly located in the desert, but the Biltmore has this palpable air of Midwestern charm to it. For starters, the upscale neighborhood is plush with green grass and generously speckled with mature shade trees. It’s also ornamented beautifully with bubbling fountains, fragrant citrus and rose gardens, gently swaying palms, and features some of the most breathtaking homes in the valley. 
The Biltmore neighborhood also boasts a splendid history. Smack dab in the middle of the residential area is the handsome, castle-like Arizona Biltmore, opened in 1929 and built by Albert Chase McArthur, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. Fun fact: “every president from Herbert Hoover through George W. Bush has been a guest” at this world-famous spa and resort, and the Reagans even celebrated their honeymoon here. 

Though the lush Biltmore neighborhood feels secluded and tucked away from the hubbub, it’s close to pretty much everything that’s important. As such, it is arguably one of the best starting points in the city. 

To begin, the Biltmore Fashion Park and Shopping Plaza – an open-air, sprawling shopping destination – is essentially located in the neighborhood’s backyard. Also very close by are the Camelback East Village Shops, the Camelback Esplanade, and the ever-growing Town & Country shopping area. All the above contain additional shopping, not to mention numerous grocery store options ranging from Whole Foods to Trader Joe's to a recently remodeled Fry's Supermarket.

Of course, all this is within a five to 10-minute drive of the neighborhood (and in many cases, are walkable or bike-able destinations). The Biltmore Neighborhood is also heralded for its 15 to 20 minute proximity to everything else in the city that matters. The airport? An easy 15 minute drive. Phoenix’s thriving downtown scene? Twenty minutes away. Old Town Scottsdale, Mill Avenue, Camelback Mountain? All no more than 20 minutes away.

Whether you’re craving a date with some award-winning food, a morning stroll through art galleries, a day full of shopping, a boisterous night spent hopping around Old Town – or simply want to kick your feet up in your backyard haven – the Biltmore totally has you covered.

Special place in Phoenix
This is the third time we’ve stayed in this apartment. It’s really a lovely place, comfortable and relaxing with superb views of Arizona sunsets. The hosts, Rajan and Randee, are terrific and responsive to any questions or concerns we may have had, and they do so in a very timely way. We look forward to staying in the House of Khumbu again and again.

Great place to land
This condo is beautiful, in a wonderful location. My daughter and I enjoyed shopping close, as well the short jaunts to Chase field and Scottsdale. The condo itself is well layed out, in a quiet community. Look forward to staying again.

About the host

Host profile image
We are looking forward to hosting you and becoming more involved in the VRBO community! We love traveling, exploring and discovering new places. On our honeymoon, we completed the trek to Everest Base Camp and just fell in love with the region, which is why we named our places "The House of Khumbu." The photos that we took on our trek are framed and hung throughout our condos. We are very responsive hosts and we look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

Coming from San Francisco, we searched for a property that would allow us to experience many of the same things that we experienced while living in a city. We wanted the ability to walk or bike to amenities, and have many amenities within a short car ride away. Although we wanted a property that was in the center of everything, we also wanted to be able to retreat to an oasis that didn't feel like it was in the center of everything. The place had to exude a sense of peace.
