Trendy neighborhood with natural and commercial amenities

Northwest Gilbert is a residential community in Gilbert, Arizona about 20 miles east of Phoenix and features natural amenities with year-round sunshine. “Gilbert completely redeveloped itself,” says Kenny Klaus, a Realtor with Keller Williams Integrity First. “They’ve created a downtown vibe and some of the more expensive real estate has become very popular.” The growing neighborhood is well-known for its highly rated schools, convenient access to Route 87 and Highway 60 and newer hospitals, says Klaus. The area also offers several different parks to explore, including McQueen Park where locals can play sports, take classes, fish or just relax. As Gilbert grows, the community stays tight-knit by supporting local businesses in Downtown Gilbert and attending events like Gilbert Days in November. “It’s a growing city, but it’s got a little bit of the small-town feel,” says Klaus.

Renovated Spanish Revival homes with desirable amenities

The average home value in Northwest Gilbert is $577,000, which is more expensive than the average value in Downtown Gilbert of $546,000, but also more affordable than the average value of $644,000 in Val Vista. “It’s a good location,” says Klaus. “You’re closer to in-town amenities and the area is new and trendy.” Northwest Gilbert’s residential streets are typically quiet, sidewalk-lined and dotted with trees, but local dining and shopping centers are usually within a mile or so. Homes typically range between $400,000 and $800,000; most are late-20th-century ranch-style or New Traditional constructions that draw from Spanish Revival architecture. At the lower end of the market, three-bed townhouses from the 2000s start around $350,000 and are often a part of HOA communities, like Park Place Village near McQueen Park. Late-century, three-bed ranch-style homes start closer to $500,000, and feature amenities like attached garages, pools and rock gardens with low-water plantings, while renovated versions with extra bedrooms, larger pools and multi-car garages range between $600,000 and $800,000. “Most homes cater to a family lifestyle,” says Klaus.

About a mile west on East Baseline Road, shoppers can browse department and outlet stores like Kohl’s, Ross and TJ Maxx at the Shoppes at Gilbert Commons. There are also many dining options in the area along Gilbert Road; Klaus recommends Culinary Dropout, a regional, casual dining chain serving comfort food, brunch specials and happy hour drinks. For live music and a welcoming atmosphere, Klaus suggests Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row, a country restaurant and bar that offers classic American fare during the day before becoming a nightlife destination in the evening. Locals are also a short drive from Mesa’s Fiesta District and Superstition Springs Mall, where they will find even more shopping and dining options.
