Get to Know PHX Neighborhoods


Metro PHX is an eclectic mosaic of towns and neighborhoods covering a breathtaking expanse of the Sonoran Desert.  Within the region, we have the largest municipal park in the world; by itself, the park covers acreage greater than the city of Manhattan.  And that is just a portion of Metropolitan PHX.

Getting the lay of the land and choosing where to live can be exciting and challenging for newcomers.  A resident may tell you she lives in Arcadia, calls herself a Phoenician and graduated from a Scottsdale school.  How do you sort this out?
