Peoria includes distinct local areas. The city's Old Town planning documents place its historic townsite around 83rd and Peoria avenues. P83 is on 83rd Avenue just south of Bell Road, while the Four Corners area is at Lake Pleasant Parkway and Happy Valley Road. These landmarks help describe a location; they do not establish comparable sales or a property's value.
Include the subdivision or community name if you know it. For a property in Old Town, near the Bell Road corridor or farther north, the full address helps us confirm the assignment location and discuss the property type and access. Describe additions, renovations, an accessory building or any records that differ from the home as it stands today.
