Voted as the Best Suburb, the Best Place to Raise a Family, and having the Best Schools in the Phoenix Area, no wonder Gilbert is one of the most sought-after cities to live in Arizona! The area was originally farmland, so there are more trees and grass lawns in Gilbert than any other suburb in Phoenix metro, giving it more of a midwestern than Sonoran desert feel. In fact, some homes are situated on large enough lots to have horse stables and riding arenas.

In the north part of town, the Riparian Preserve is a gorgeous refuge of parks, streams, duck-filled lakes, and an Observatory to view the night sky. Located in the Southeast Valley, Gilbert borders Chandler, Mesa, and Queen Creek, and is just an hour away from hiking and camping in the Tonto National Forest.

With friendly neighborhoods, a great sense of community, and no natural disasters, Gilbert is also ranked the 4th safest city in America. What an amazing place to call home!

The Culture

Family-friendly restaurants, activities, and recreation define the culture in Gilbert. The planned community of Agritopia has a certified organic farm and agricultural-themed restaurants that draw residents and visitors alike. In fact, “Joe’s Farm Grill” was featured on the Food Network show “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives”, and The Coffee Shop won an episode of Cupcake Wars on the same network, so you know you’re getting a real treat!

The Farmhouse Meadows neighborhood features Victorian homes and shops, and the very walkable downtown Heritage District, marked by its water tower, is where you’ll find community favorites like Joe’s Real BBQ and OHSO Brewery. Golfers have an endless array of courses to choose from, from Trilogy to Greenfield Lakes and Western Skies, or can hit the driving range at Top Golf with friends for some practice swings.

On hot days you can take the kids to cool off at Sunsplash Water Park or do some indoor shopping in the big box stores and malls in town. You’ll see your neighbors out walking their dogs at local parks, including the massive 17-acre Cosmo Dog Park that even has a lake for them to swim in!

 

 

Lifestyle

Start your day with coffee and pastries on the huge, tree-lined, shaded patio at Bergie’s Coffee Roast House, or have a scrambled egg, biscuits & gravy brunch at 25-year community staple, The Farmhouse restaurant.

Head to Freestone Park to take a leisurely walk around the lake, feed the ducks, take the kids to the playground, and ride the train. Have lunch at urban, yet homestyle Liberty Market, then take in some Little League games at Cactus Yard, where you can also practice your swing in the batting cages.

For some indoor fun, Main Event offers a bowling alley, arcade games, food, and cocktails. Meet your neighbors for mixed bruschetta and charcuterie at Postino East or have a casual evening relaxing on the Adirondack chairs with sliders and an Old Fashioned at very popular Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row.

For family night, take the kids to FatCats for movies, bowling, pizza, and mini-golf, where you’re all sure to have a great time enjoying your new hometown.
