Family-oriented suburb in central Yuma
Set in central Yuma, suburban La Mesa Manor puts residents within two miles of Kennedy Memorial Park, schools and local businesses along West 24th Street. “You’re right in the middle of everything,” says Diana Arvizu, a local Realtor with Realty Executives Yuma who has over 5 years of experience. Arvizu describes the area as family-oriented, and kids walking sidewalk-lined residential streets to C. W. McGraw Elementary and Gila Vista Junior High are a common sight. “You have grocery stores, [restaurants] and you’re a few miles from downtown and the freeway,” Arvizu says. Route 95 and Interstate 8 are about 2 miles northeast, the latter leads 4 miles north to downtown Yuma, where community events are often held at the Yuma Arts Center. When temperatures top 90 degrees in the summer, it’s commonplace to see residents cooling down in the community pool at Kennedy Memorial Park. Residents may be able to hear occasional air traffic from Yuma International Airport, 2 miles southeast, and area houses of worship include Immanuel Southern Baptist Church.
Many of the local neighborhoods in Yuma, have small parks for the children to play in.
