Arizona Living: Which City is Right for You?
We believe the best communities are designed to enhance their surroundings. Whether you’re looking for friendly neighborhoods, peaceful retreats, or up-and-coming social hubs, here’s a look at four distinct areas across the Greater Phoenix metro area to consider.
Gilbert: Suburban Sophistication
With its highly rated schools, strong sense of community, and a thriving local economy, Gilbert consistently ranks as one of the most desirable places to live – not just in Arizona, but in the entire country. Residents appreciate Gilbert’s award-winning public schools and its proximity to healthcare, manufacturing, and employment centers. Complete with weekend farmers’ markets, lush parks, and a revitalized Heritage District full of dining and cultural attractions, Gilbert is one of Arizona’s most well-rounded and livable cities.
Located in the heart of Gilbert, Waterston Central is an ideal community for those who value connection to both people and place. Complete with a scenic lake, botanical gardens, walking trails, and convenient access to the best Gilbert has to offer, Waterston Central is a thoughtfully designed community that supports the kind of enviable lifestyle Gilbert is known for.
San Tan Valley: Space to Grow
Just southeast of Gilbert lies San Tan Valley – a fast-growing area with modern development and plenty of room to breathe. With panoramic mountain vistas and wide-open skies as its backdrop, San Tan Valley delivers a more relaxed pace of life while still providing access to major employment corridors. Located in Pinal County, which enjoys the highest growth rate of any county in Arizona, San Tan Valley attracts anyone seeking attainable living in a natural setting.
Three exceptional Tri Pointe communities – Terraza, Soleo, and Bella Vista Farms – give unique takes on life in San Tan Valley, while sharing the hallmarks of what makes living here so special: more home, more space, and more opportunities to live well. Terraza emphasizes walkability and natural movement, with trails, parks, and design features that make wellness feel effortless. Soleo blends agrarian-inspired design with forward-thinking amenities, from olive tree groves to a future 15-acre Grand Park. At Bella Vista Farms, open-concept living reflect San Tan Valey’s spacious surroundings and easygoing way of life
Phoenix / Laveen: Relaxed City Life
Laveen is a historic urban village within Phoenix that’s experiencing a new wave of growth and development. It offers a rare mix of proximity to downtown Phoenix and major highways alongside peaceful neighborhoods and desert landscapes. With convenient access to employment, entertainment, and big city life, residents can indulge in Phoenix’s high-energy offerings without sacrificing the tranquility and close community feeling Laveen delivers.
Nestled in South Phoenix, Whispering Hills showcases Laveen’s urban sanctuary appeal. The scenic streetscapes keep you connected to everything, while Tri Pointe’s Ridge, Summit, and Atlas home collections ensure you’ll never compromise on space or style. Upon completion, this expansive gated community is expected to feature 60 acres of open air, complete with four pocket parks and nearby trails at South Mountain Park. With a world of outdoor opportunity ready to explore, it’s hard to believe the 202 loop is just 3 miles away, making commutes to downtown Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, and Chandler easier than ever.
Goodyear: The West Valley’s Rising Star
As one of the 10 fastest-growing cities nationwide (with populations of 50k or more), Goodyear is thriving as one of the most dynamic cities in the West Valley. Goodyear is gaining attention for its mix of opportunity and livability, home to a booming population, strong household income, and major employers like Amazon and Abrazo West Campus. New shopping centers, highly rated schools, and recreational destinations like Goodyear Ballpark and Estrella Mountain Regional Park keep this city on the radar for many savvy homebuyers.
Abel Ranch, a new Tri Pointe community opening soon, offers two neighborhoods – Camerano and Navarre – specifically designed to enhance modern life in the West Valley. With innovative homes, thoughtful amenities, and a strategic location near major transit routes and employment hubs, Abel Ranch is positioned to become a prime destination for homebuyers seeking comfort, convenience, and value.
Find the Arizona That Fits You
No two homebuyers are the same – and no two Arizona cities are, either. That’s why Tri Pointe builds in a range of places, with a wide selection of home designs to match. Whether you want the confident luxury of Gilbert, the space to stretch in San Tan Valley, the city-meets-nature vibe of Laveen, or the emerging momentum of Goodyear, there’s a Tri Pointe community ready to meet your needs.
