If someone would be so kind...We would like to relocate from BC Canada to Maricopa, Az. and would like all the information we can get about the city, the communities, the utilities, schools etc...
If anyone has info about realtors, mortgage brokers, lenders etc... it would also be a big help.
Employment in the area? My husband is an automotive service advisor, is there anything in Maricopa? or close? Thanks in advance for all your help!

I guess I would have to say why Maricopa? you have the Gila River Indian Res on the north side and the Ak Chin on the south.
I beleive it is only 20 miles up the 347 into Chandler where there should be plenty of employment oppurtunites.
Now a little bit farther west on 238 is Mobile and there is a new subdivision going in (99th ave & 238) that is in The city of Goodyear as they stretch that far south now. That is supposed to be a happening community once they get it up and running.

Or are you refering to Maricopa County Arizona?

I think Judy's 'About Phoenix' are prolly just as good as any place to start!

Phoenix - Phoenix AZ - City of Phoenix - Phoenix Arizona - Metro Phoenix

When you get to the neighborhoods page, keep in mind that she's only discussing incorporated areas of Phoenix, and not master planned communities (Verrado, Anthem, Vistancia, etc.) that have not yet been incorporated.

Best of luck with your research!

There are several new auto malls in Gilbert, Mesa and Chandler, where your husband should be able to find work. These are very large malls with quite a few dealers.

These cities are all in Maricopa County which includes the city of Phoenix. The schools are very good in Gilbert and Chandler.

I have information on mortgage brokers that can be of assistance, but I cannot put their names on the forum because it would be advertising, which is not allowed.

There are some great communities in Gilbert, and my favorite is the one where I live Val Vista Lakes - Your Community. In November I sold very close to me to a family from Vancouver, BC. This community is within 15 minute drive to the three auto malls that I mentioned.

LOL, oh darling, 90% of the people on city-data are realtors! I'm sure you will get a TON of PM's in the next few days. I sometimes think they should rename the Phoenix forum, Phoenix Realtors City-Data.com LOL.

You will find a lot of help here. Good luck to you!
