Modern vs. Historic

Eidson Road has this amazing blend of modern styled city apartments set within a rather historic looking township. The main strip through town, El Indio Hwy., is filled with examples of 1950s style architecture up and down the strip. Buildings rarely rise above two or three stories and boast that fun and rather simplistic art deco style that dominated American Main Streets across the country. Many of the apartment homes in Eidson Road were built beginning after the 1970s, with the bulk having been constructed after the year 2000. So don't be surprised to find fresh paint and shiny new appliances in a building that is modern and up to code on every level, even though you are surrounded by a town that feels as though it got stuck in a bygone era.
