West Valley Phoenix Arizona Area Guide
The West Valley of Phoenix is enjoying a building boom as big as the east valley. Helped by the massive new NFL Phoenix Cardinals football stadium being built in Glendale and the entire infrastructure around it, the west valley is remaking its image. Though real estate prices are generally lower in much of the west valley, there remain pockets of high end homes. The new West includes Peoria, Glendale, Surprise, Litchfield Park, Goodyear, Estrella Park and Buckeye. Affordable new home developments, brand new Spring Training complexes, new office developments, shopping and entertainment make this an enticing area for those moving to Phoenix.
Glendale and Peoria were pretty much built-out until they annexed land in the Northwest valley. Their neighbors to the west still have room to grow.
Surprise butts up against the White Tank mountains and park, and remains one of the least expensive places to buy a new home in the north part of the valley.
Litchfield Park, a once quiet and isolated small town next to Luke Air Force Base, is growing while keeping its small town core.
Goodyear is changing many of its agricultural areas into subdivisions and has the beautiful Estrella Mountain Ranch, which sits up against the Estrella Park and mountain range.
Head out about 20 minutes west, and you’re near Buckeye, the once sleepy agricultural town that has turned into a new affordable growth spot in the west valley.
