Living in Parkway Place, Yuma AZ: Homes & Prices

Living in Parkway Place Yuma AZ means living in a quiet early 2000s neighborhood where the homes have real size, the streets have sidewalks, and West 24th Street shopping is close enough for everyday errands. Parkway Place sits in the 85364 ZIP code in western Yuma, around West 25th and 26th Place and West 27th Lane, though locals think of it as central because parks, schools, and stores are all within about two miles. Buyers find it when they want more house than a new build gives at the same price, without moving out to the Foothills.

Where is Parkway Place, and how far is it from MCAS Yuma?

Plan on about 20 to 25 minutes to MCAS Yuma in normal traffic, heading east across town toward Avenue 3E and the main gate. I tell military families PCSing to MCAS Yuma to drive that route once at their real report time before they write an offer. A lot of families pick this side of town on purpose. It is quieter at night, the Colorado River and West Wetlands Park are a short drive north, and downtown Yuma and Main Street are minutes away. Yuma Palms shopping is a straight drive east when you need the bigger stores.

What are homes in Parkway Place Yuma AZ like?

Most Parkway Place homes are Spanish Revival style houses built in the early 2000s, with tan stucco, terracotta tile roofs, archways, and attached garages. Homes.com puts the median year built at 2004 and counts about 147 homes in the neighborhood, so it feels finished and settled, not like a building site. Recent listings show the pattern well. A home on West 26th Place was listed at $395,000 with three bedrooms, two baths, and 2,141 square feet, with vaulted ceilings, granite counters, a gas stove, and a new AC system. A home on West 27th Lane was listed at $427,000 with four bedrooms, two baths, and 2,268 square feet. A home on West 25th Lane was listed at $440,000 with four bedrooms, three baths, and 2,524 square feet. Homes.com puts the median sale price for the last 12 months at $399,950, with most typical homes ranging from about $350,000 to $500,000. A small stretch of much larger homes on Brandi Lane sits well above that range, on bigger lots. Always check current listings before you budget, because size, pool, and updates move the number fast.

Why do buyers like the size and pools here?

Because Parkway Place was built before floor plans shrank. You get vaulted ceilings, bigger living rooms, and lots that can hold a private pool, and in Yuma a pool is not a luxury item. Homes.com notes that private pools are especially desirable here because summer temperatures regularly top 100 degrees. If you are comparing a Parkway Place resale with a new build in east Yuma, compare the backyard and the lot too, not just the kitchen. You can update a kitchen. You cannot add lot size later.

Is Parkway Place good for families and schools?

Yes. Families here are served by Yuma School District One and Crane area schools depending on the exact street, with Cibola High School in the Yuma Union district serving this side of town. Confirm the exact school for any address before you write an offer, because boundaries matter and they can change. On weekends, families head to West Wetlands Park and the river trails, to youth sports around town, and downtown for dinner and the Historic Yuma Theatre. It is an everyday neighborhood first, and that is why it holds its buyers.

What should buyers check before they buy in Parkway Place?

Check the AC age first. A new system was a headline feature on a recent listing for a reason, and an original early 2000s unit in Yuma has worked hard. Then check the roof tiles, the pool equipment if there is a pool, and whether solar is owned or leased. Look at shade and backyard direction too. A west facing yard is a different yard in August. For sellers, Parkway Place homes with a clean pool, updated kitchen, and a newer AC tend to draw strong interest, because buyers who want size in central Yuma do not have many streets to choose from.
