…small-town friendliness with big-town appeal


About 25 miles east of downtown Phoenix lies one of the fastest-growing towns in Phoenix and Arizona; in fact...in the entire country. Even Money Magazine voted Gilbert #16 out of the 100 best places in the U.S. to live in 2006.

Once known as the "Hay Capital of the World,” this charming area has roots in the farming industry and has been planned to maintain a small-town feel with a focus on family no matter how rapid the growth.

That’s a key word for this community—planning. And, if you do it as well as the folks in Gilbert, the possibilities for a great life are limitless. Residents and officials have worked together to build residential developments full of homes and Gilbert apartments, so that parks, equestrian trails and lakes, as well as retail businesses, are just a short walk away.

Speaking of business, Gilbert works just the way the textbooks say it should—businesses (including restaurants, bars and movie theaters) open and thrive, and schools grow, to serve the ever-increasing population.

Reinforcing all the quaintness here is a celebration called Gilbert Days. It's the event of the year, when the entire community celebrates the town’s western heritage with a rodeo, jackpot roping, barrel racing and more.
