Coronado

In 1908 Dwight B. Heard, president of the Suburban Real Estate Company, petitioned to subdivide a section of property bounded by 7th Street, 12th Street, McDowell Road and the Crosscut Canal. This area would later be known as the Coronado neighborhood. The original intent was to build a prestigious city suburb, such as Roosevelt or Encanto-Palmcroft. But, with land values based on the development's proximity to Central Avenue (and Coronado's comparable distance from Central Avenue), a more modest plan was adopted. More than six hundred homes were built in the 1920's and 30's.
