Why Buy a Home in Phoenix, Arizona?

The so-called Valley of the Sun is aptly named with over 300 days of sunshine a year. Phoenix is the state capitol and the sixth largest metropolitan area in the nation. While Phoenix has many suburbs north, south, east and west of the city, much of the population happily resides in Phoenix proper.

Phoenix is a harmonious blend of old meets new. Cowboys, cacti and rugged mountains meet skyscrapers, big businesses and innovative transportation systems. The city is home to 34 historic neighborhoods and many of Phoenix’s Mid-century ranch homes have been updated and remodeled to reflect today’s trendy Mid-century modern styles. Newer homes with modern conveniences are also plentiful throughout the area.

Downtown Phoenix is home to major sports franchises including the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Phoenix Suns, as well as art and cultural venues including the Phoenix Art Museum, world-famous Heard Museum, Arizona Science Center and Phoenix Symphony Hall.
