A convenient Phoenix suburb

Located along the usually-dry bed of the Agua Fria River in Avondale, Rancho Santa Fe is a pleasant suburb setting. Its good schools and easy access to I-10 make it a desirable location for many looking to move further from the city. “Being right in between Avondale and Goodyear, you’ve got everything you need here on a day-to-day basis, and then it’s easy to get downtown when you need as well,” says Lindsay Kothe, Realtor at The Kothe Team of My Home Group.

Spanish-style homes in a suburban setting

Entering Rancho Santa Fe, acacia-lined main roads give way to wide-open suburban drives lines by Spanish-style houses with tiled roofs and stucco exteriors. Predominantly one-story, the homes sport landscaped front yards with cacti and palm trees. The backyards are often walled in, and many have pools to cool off in the arid Arizona summer. Mostly built in the late 1990s, these houses generally cost between the mid-$300,000s and mid-$600,000s, depending on square footage and if they have been renovated. “You have a wide variety of home sizes in the neighborhood, more than normal,” Kothe says. “You can really choose what you’re looking for here.”

Quick trip to Phoenix via I-10

Rancho Santa Fe is located less than 20 miles from downtown Phoenix.

Access to Goodyear events

Rancho Santa Fe’s proximity to Goodyear means residents can enjoy the community-building events the city puts on. This includes holiday celebrations like the “Star Spangled Fourth” fireworks show at Goodyear Ballpark each Independence Day. Fireworks aren’t the only thing happening at the ballpark, though, as Major League Baseball’s Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds kick off their seasons with spring training in Goodyear. Sports fans can also make the quick drive to State Farm Stadium to take in an Arizona Cardinals football game, or Phoenix International Raceway for stock car racing. “NASCAR race weekends get pretty busy around here. It’s a big thing for the locals,” Kothe says.
