Located approximately 40 miles north of Downtown Phoenix, North Gateway is a sprawling community made up of open desert, nature preserves, and suburban streets. North Gateway is home to a portion of the Phoenix Sonoran Preserve, an open desert park with miles of hiking and biking trails that allow visitors to explore the green plains of cacti. Lake Pleasant Regional Park sits just a few miles from town as well, offering boating, fishing, camping, hiking, and gorgeous views. North Gateway sits at a higher elevation than the city below, sporting cooler temperatures and bluer, wider skies.
Although the quiet neighborhood’s ranch-style homes sit tucked away in the solace of the mountains, North Gateway remains connected to the greater Phoenix area via Interstate 17 and Carefree Highway. Apartments, houses, condos, and townhomes for rent in North Gateway range from affordable to upscale.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
