Write a ReviewGilbert, Arizona is a community with a strong economy, family focus, and welcoming feel. The highly ranked education system and remarkably low crime rates have resulted in the area receiving accolades and awards from numerous national publications. Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast, art buff, or enjoy attending community events, there is something in Gilbert that appeals to everyone.
Gilbert, Arizona sprung up on land donated by William “Bobby” Gilbert to create a rail line between Phoenix and Florence, Arizona. It was primarily an agricultural town and was known as the “Hay Capital of the World.” Since the 1970s, Gilbert has rapidly grown into a thriving and economically diverse suburban center.
Gilbert has a warm, dry, desert climate. The area experiences very little precipitation, with only about an inch during the wettest month of March. Expect mild to hot weather year-round, with average high temperatures rising above 100 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer months.
As a Valley Metro member, there are five primary bus routes serving the town, with additional bus services to surrounding cities, including Phoenix. However, most people living in apartments in Gilbert get around using a car or bike. The Phoenix-Sky International Airport is only a 25 minute drive away.
The Santan Freeway, also known as the Loop 202, runs through the center of Gilbert. It connects with Interstate I-10 to the west and US-60 Superstition Freeway to the north. A typical commute time to work ranges from approximately 20 to 40 minutes.
The East Valley Tribune is the largest daily newspaper publication in the area. The Gilbert Sun News provides community news monthly, as well as online. With such a close proximity to Phoenix, there are numerous radio stations to choose from and all major television networks are available.
With the area receiving plenty of awards and recognition, Gilbert apartments have become a hot commodity. The town was recognized as the “2nd Safest City in the United States” by Law Street Media and the “Best City for Raising a Family” by Move.org. If that isn’t enough to convince you, it was also recently ranked as the “22nd Best Place to Live in the US” by Money Magazine. From bustling shops, restaurants, and art galleries downtown, to golf courses, major parks, and community pools, there is always something to do in Gilbert.
One of the main landmarks is historic Gilbert Water Tower, which has been incorporated into a park known as Water Tower Plaza. The plaza now includes a splash pad, floating granite ball, and permanent seating areas, making it an ideal place for recreation and community events.
The Riparian at the Water Ranch is a popular wildlife preserve where many Gilbert residents enjoy the hiking and equestrian trails, as well as bird watching. Recognized as a Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists, there are nearly 54 miles of marked bike trails that include pocket parks, drinking fountains, and ramadas. There are also several golf courses, public pools, and performance arts theaters to provide endless entertainment.
At the Gilbert Art Walk which happens twice per month, local artisans demonstrate and sell their work. Each spring, you can put on your cape and tights for the Ka-Pow! Superhero Adventure Run featuring multiple fun obstacles along a 2 mile course.
Gilbert is surrounded by some of Arizona’s most scenic attractions, with the Superstition Mountains to the northeast and Saguaro National Park to the south. Being within a close proximity to two airports makes it easy for you to hop on a short flight to San Diego, California and check out the ocean. Making the 5 hour drive to Las Vegas, Nevada would also be an enjoyable getaway.
There are so many great areas to find apartments in Gilbert, you almost can’t go wrong with where you choose to live. One popular choice is the area near Freestone Park, which includes the Stonecreek neighborhood. Val Vista Lakes is another beautiful and well-established community that has created many nice apartment options in the surrounding area. Dog-owners would find anywhere near Cosmo Dog Park incredibly convenient for you to give your four-legged friend a chance to stretch their legs. If you prefer to be close to the action then neighborhoods near SanTan Village, a premier shopping destination, would be an ideal location.
