Suburban Scenic Modern Active Welcoming Family-Friendly Tranquil

The residents of San Tan Valley, located about an hour's drive southeast of Phoenix, take special pride in their community since they were the ones who chose its name only a few years ago. This newest addition to Phoenix's outlying areas consists of gracious homes for rent, often on large lots and in gated communities. Families in this area appreciate the excellent schools, and many love the fact that they drive past horse farms on their way to recreation in the nearby San Tan Mountains.

During the winter, spring, and fall, you can find your neighbors hiking at San Tan Mountain Regional Park, playing in the splash pad at Founders' Park, or riding horses at the Horseshoe Park & Equestrian Centre. Most people are new to this modern neighborhood, so many residents find it easy to make friendly connections as they relax on their porches viewing the desert sunset.

San Tan valley is a crime ridden city with very little services , such as grocery stores ,restaurants, laundry facilities , library's ,child care facilities , beauty salons ,spas , public pools, discount stores, coffee shops etc. There are no services for young children or teens which results in vandalism and nefarious acts. The incidence of Valley is extremely high due to the uncontrolled dust from needless home building as the streets cannot handle the massive amount of traffic.

When it comes to San Tan Valley, it is currently a up and growing city. The one thing that must be fixed is the schools because the district there is not as good.

As someone fairly new to the area I love the expansion and growth that is currently happening. There are lots of great restaurants and shopping in the area. The expansion of the roadways will be key to keeping up with the growth of the area.
