The Olympus is a four-story midcentury condominium complex in Phoenix completed in 1964 and noted for its Bob Starkovich–influenced design. Composed of three concrete buildings that collectively house roughly three dozen residences, the property showcases characteristic period details such as vaulted barrel-style ceilings, exposed walnut accents, and a mix of original and updated finishes across units. Floor plans are primarily two- and three-bedroom layouts (many marketed as 2bd/2ba or 2bd plus den) with features that include open living areas, breakfast bars or kitchen islands, walk-in pantries and closets, 9-foot-plus or vaulted ceilings, and master suites with separate shower and tub options. Units often open to private balconies, patios, or large garden terraces with pool-facing views; select upper-floor homes offer expansive decks and city vistas. Common amenities emphasize a strong communal, resort-like character: a large, Olympic-size lap pool, an iconic retro clubhouse and barbecue areas, secure underground gated parking with assigned spaces and storage lockers, elevator access, and extensive landscaping adjacent to Murphy’s Bridle Path. The HOA historically covers many utilities (heating, cooling, water, trash, sewer, basic cable/internet) and has managed recent capital improvements including roof and A/C system work. The site sits on Central Avenue in the Central Corridor/Uptown area, within walking distance of local dining, shopping, light-rail connections and tree-lined pedestrian paths, presenting a midcentury architectural landmark with a maintained communal lifestyle.
