Growing neighborhood with new homes and local dining
Set 30 miles southeast of Phoenix, Higley is a suburban community in Gilbert, Arizona, known for its new construction and proximity to parks, dining and shopping. “The downtown area has grown, but what separates Higley from the rest of the Phoenix area is the homey feeling,” says Stacia Ehlen, a Realtor with RE/Max Signature who has worked in real estate for over 20 years. In the early 20th century, Gilbert was known as “The Hay Capital of the World,” but today, the town is better known for its lush green spaces and local dining scene. “There are still a lot of farmlands, and you won’t find many national chains; it’s all Arizona-owned businesses.” Higley receives a low CAP Index Crime Score of 3, compared to the national average of 4, and nearby access to Highway 202 and Valley Metro buses make it easy to get around the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. "It’s close enough to Phoenix to be convenient but far enough that we have our own identity.”
Custom homes on large lots in Gilbert can cost up to $1 million.
