Basements - a rarity, at least in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. Some builders have introduced fully finished basements (such as Fulton Homes’ models in Fletcher Heights in Peoria) while through the 1970s and early 1980s, tri-level construction was common.

So where do you store your stuff in Phoenix? In the attic mostly, or in the single bay of a three-car garage where almost no one parks an actual vehicle.
