Phoenix is the hub around which over 20 communities have grown. Collectively they are known as the “Valley of the Sun”, appropriately nicknamed for the average 300 days of sunshine we receive each year.
The Phoenix Metropolitan area is one of the top five fastest growing areas in the nation providing warm weather, great employment opportunities and plenty of year around free time activities. Nearly 35,000 surface acres of lakes are within a short driving distance of the Metro area offering boating, fishing, water skiing, and swimming. Trailered boats are a common sight along the Valley’s thoroughfares. In fact, Phoenix boasts the highest per capita boat ownership in the nation. For the golf enthusiast there are over 180 golf courses in the area. A series of mountain ranges encircle the Valley, creating a recreational mecca for hikers, campers, horseback riders, bicyclists and picnickers. Just a few hours north of the city you can enjoy the cool pines, large, blue lakes, and major snow-skiing facilities of the San Francisco Peaks. And, of course, don’t forget the majestic Grand Canyon.
