Phoenix hires ASU to study middle housing options

Phoenix is hiring Arizona State University to study middle housing options in the city.

The study comes in response to a new state law, passed in 2024 but going into effect this year, that requires duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and townhomes to be allowed within a mile of downtown in municipalities of at least 75,000. In Phoenix, that affects a lot of historic districts.

Members of city council have said many residents have spoken to them with concern over this new mandate.
