It may be 115° but this is one cool city. Phoenix is enclosed by mountains on all sides with the sun illuminating the entire city, giving it the nickname, "Valley of the Sun." The city is the fifth largest city in the nation and the largest in the state. In my opinion, Phoenix is the best city in which to buy a new home.
Phoenix has been in a growing boom since 2000, making it the second fastest growing city in America following Las Vegas which grew 5% faster than Phoenix .
The area was once dependant upon citrus and cotton farms, but now the city is filled with telecommunications and high-tech companies that help the city's economy to thrive. Between the city government and these great companies, they have employed hundreds of thousands of Phoenicians. Phoenix schools are also a large employer in the community.
The city has done a great job of adding bus routes, highways, freeways, and expressways to keep traffic congestion to a minimum during rush hour traffic. You will also find sidewalks and bicycle lanes for non-motor travel.
After work always comes play, so Phoenix residents relish in the abundant outdoor and indoor activities that are available. There are several public parks to enjoy a leisure afternoon or to take the kids to play. Golf is another great outdoor activity since there are over 30 great courses to choose from. Both public and private courses are available for every skill level. For indoor fun, there are many art, history and science museums. And for the sports lover, there are several professional sports games to catch throughout the year.
Phoenix real estate is a great choice when you're in the market to buy a new home. Contact me anytime for a showing.
