Phoenix villages and neighborhoods Scott covers
The City of Phoenix is divided into 15 urban villages: Ahwatukee Foothills, Alhambra, Camelback East, Central City, Deer Valley, Desert View, Encanto, Estrella, Laveen, Maryvale, North Gateway, North Mountain, Paradise Valley, Rio Vista and South Mountain. Scott covers all of them. A few that stand out:
- Ahwatukee Foothills: the part of Phoenix bordered by South Mountain, I-10 and the Gila River Indian Community, annexed by the city in stages from 1980 to 1987. The Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway, which opened in December 2019, runs along its southern and western edge.
- Central City and Encanto: home to many of the city's historic districts, including Roosevelt, Willo, Encanto-Palmcroft and F.Q. Story.
- Camelback East: the neighborhoods around Camelback Mountain, including Arcadia.
- North Phoenix: Deer Valley, North Gateway and Desert View, home to USAA's Norterra campus, American Express's Desert Ridge campus, and TSMC Arizona's chip fabs near I-17 and Loop 303.
Historic homes and older locks
Phoenix lists 36 residential historic districts. Many date from the early 1900s through the 1940s:
| Historic district | Period of significance |
|---|---|
| Roosevelt | 1895–1930 |
| Coronado | 1907–1942 |
| Willo | 1910–1950 |
| Encanto-Palmcroft | 1920–1952 |
| F.Q. Story | 1921–1942 |
Older homes often have worn, mismatched or painted-over locks. Scott can rekey them so one key opens every door, repair locks worth keeping, or install new deadbolts and handlesets. In a historic district, check the city's preservation guidelines before changing how exterior hardware looks. A rekey changes only the inside of the lock.
About 43% of Phoenix homes are renter-occupied, based on the Census's 57.3% owner-occupancy rate, so rekeys between tenants and after a home purchase are steady work too. More on rekeying and home locks.

Locked out in Phoenix?
Emergency lockout service runs 24/7 for Phoenix homes, businesses and cars. Call (813) 712-0832 with your address or nearest cross street. Before he opens a home, Scott asks for ID or proof that you live there. For cars, Scott opens the car but doesn't make or program car keys.
Phoenix is a long drive from San Tan Valley, so ask about the price and timing when you call. If a child, pet or anyone at risk is locked inside a car, call 911 first. Arizona heat makes a closed car dangerous within minutes. More on emergency lockouts.
