With a rapidly growing population, word has gotten out that Gilbert is one of Phoenix’s best suburbs! But no matter how big this city gets, Gilbert is consistently named as one of the best places to live in the country. Families in particular are drawn to the town’s local charm and its suburban amenities. The public schools perform exceptionally well, the crime rate is very low for a community its size, and there are numerous community parks like Freestone Park off of Juniper Avenue.
Located about 20 miles southeast of Phoenix, Gilbert has unbeatable access to everything this capital city has to offer. From the South Mountain Park Preserve and Chase Field to the Arizona State Fairground and Comerica Theatre, entertainment, outdoor recreation, dining, and shopping options are at the fingertips of Gilbert residents. But Gilbert has plenty of appeal on its own. Gilbert Town Square, SanTan Village, and Crossroads Towne Center are the top retail centers in the city.
