Gilbert
One of Arizona's fastest-growing towns: newer planned communities, a busy downtown and farm-town roots.
Gilbert has grown fast over the last 10 to 20 years and still has room to grow. Its planned communities have clean streets and consistent homes, and restaurants are often built right into or around the neighborhoods.
Not long ago, Gilbert was ranches and dairy farms, and farmland is still just a few miles south. Downtown Gilbert has a classic small-town main street feel and is busy on weekend nights, with outposts of well-known Arcadia and Scottsdale restaurants alongside local favorites like Joe's Real BBQ.
Life here centers on the neighborhood, at a slower pace than central Phoenix and Scottsdale.
