Living in Gilbert
The Heritage District, family sized neighborhoods and the East Valley's hometown feel.
Gilbert grew from a hay shipping stop into the largest incorporated town in the United States, and it did it while keeping a hometown center. The Heritage District around the water tower is the proof: Joe's Real BBQ, Postino, the Hale Centre Theatre and a strip of restaurants that draw people from across the East Valley every night of the week.
The neighborhoods are what pull people to stay. Agritopia's urban farm and tree lined streets, Morrison Ranch's white fences and lakes, Power Ranch's parks and catch and release ponds, and Val Vista Lakes with its clubhouse and lagoon each offer a different version of planned community living, almost all of it built since the 1990s. Angela has closed homes in Gilbert and helps buyers weigh it against Chandler, Mesa and Queen Creek street by street.
