Mesa Homes & Lifestyle
Mesa, Arizona Is a City On the Move

Once a town of 84 residents, today Mesa is the third largest city in Arizona right behind Tucson and Phoenix. Mesa’s population is expected to reach over 500,000 by 2020. One look at the massive construction happening all around Mesa, and you’ll know you’re buying a home in a place that will continue to develop and grow to meet your lifestyle. That’s the allure Mesa has for families, retirees, and those who migrate to Mesa annually for the warm winters. Approximately 135,000 “snowbirds” increase Mesa’s population every year during winter.

Mesa, located in the East Valley just 12 miles southeast of downtown Phoenix, is just as attractive to businesses since the city imposes no inventory, franchise, or offshore unitary taxes. This business-friendly atmosphere has convinced companies like Boeing, Motorola, TRW, AT&T, and many more to relocate or establish their operations to Mesa. Mesa boasts one of the lowest unemployment rates in the Valley and a very competitive average annual salary.

Mesa’s community environment bridges the gap between the wide range of generations living here by providing employment opportunities and a variety of housing options. Retail, educational, cultural, and recreational amenities keep young and old alike on their toes.

Mesa’s two super-sized malls, Fiesta Mall, Superstition Springs Center, and others in the planning stages, make the city the retail hub of the East Valley. These malls, plus the growing number of neighborhood retailers, ensure you’ll have everything you need at your fingertips.

Whether your passion is trekking through desert terrain, water sports, cultural events, sports or all of the above, Mesa is the perfect city to do whatever you want, however you want. You can spend your day at one of Mesa’s over 50 city parks or boating, fishing, sailing, waterskiing and even camping at nearby Saguaro, Canyon, and Apache Lakes. Red Mountain Park is home to a popular man-made lake by Superstition Mountain.

Like other cities in the Valley, Mesa isn’t lacking cultural activities and venues. With its own symphony and amphitheater, Mesa hosts musical events to suit every taste. Mesa is home to the Southwest Shakespeare Company, Mesa Southwest Museum, the Commemorative Air Force Museum, and the Arizona Temple Visitor’s Center that presents an ornate Christmas display every season.

For sports fans there are the Cactus League Spring Training, the Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres, and California Angels training camps, and over 20 golf courses. Combine them all in one city and you have year round sports that will excite even the most intense sports fan.

Buying a Mesa Home May Be the Best Idea You Ever Had

Mesa homes are certainly a great investment. Looking for a Mesa home in one of the many newer home communities located throughout the city? Or maybe a home on Mesa’s western end in an older established neighborhood is more your style? Either way, you’ll get more home for your money in Mesa. Not only are a majority of Mesa homes affordable, but also there is no city property tax collected.
