GILBERT, having been ranked one of the Top 100 Best Places to Live by Money Magazine, has proven to be one of the fastest growing
cities in
the nation; both for good reason. Residents here hold a strong sense of
community within the safe neighborhoods they live in that are rich with
family values. Gilbert is a place where small business can
thrive, along with a high-tech business sector that is taking off at
record
speed, so jobs for locals are plentiful. Higher education has also
found its way to Gilbert with Chandler-Gilbert
Community College, Arizona State University Polytechnic Campus and
Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University.
With the growth brings a variety of options in fun
and entertainment. Recently opened San Tan Village offers everything a
shopaholic
could ask for. This outdoor venue is also thriving with a number of
dining
options, salons, children’s play area and a Harkins Theatre. Polar Ice
skating facility and the impressive Big League baseball facility have
both recently made Gilbert their home. Old Town Gilbert,
otherwise known as Heritage District, takes you back in time to the
original
town center, where you will find shops, restaurants and offices. Since
great
weather is part of the package of living in Gilbert, bike paths and
parks are
many. Freestone Park and Freestone Skate Park, further proves why
Gilbert is attractive to families with its sports fields, a train,
batting cage, picnic areas
and more. Don’t miss Gilbert’s annual three- day event known as Gilbert
Days.
The rodeo, 5K run and other exciting activities will bring people from
near and
far to enjoy the celebration and sunshine.
Gilbert is centrally located which offers short
commutes and quick access to Downtown Phoenix, Chandler and Scottsdale,
as well as Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport for when you want
to get out of town. Of course with all this... why would you?
Once an expansive farming community and railroad
station, Gilbert has experienced rapid growth that has resulted in a
suburb that has all the conveniences of an urban hub; while keeping
that same small town charm. This growth has caused the population to expand to over 215,000 as of March of 2009. The home choices are many
with quality master-planned communities, gated developments,
condominiums, custom homes on acreage, and more. Check out Gilbert
homes through our up-to-the-minute MLS.
