City of Phoenix
Description: Phoenix is different than most other cities. Although it is the hub of the major businesses in Arizona and holds most of the major events, it shares many amenities with the other surrounding communities like Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Glendale and others.
When Phoenix was first being built, the leadership decided to develop Phoenix in different neighborhoods. They split Phoenix into different areas that all had separate shopping/business hubs. For instance, the Biltmore area at 24th and Camelback is one of the most popular areas in the state, yet it is 5-8 miles away from downtown Phoenix. To this day, the city of Phoenix still develops and manages the city within the neighborhood community theory. The new areas of Phoenix, like Anthem and Desert Ridge, are being developed in this way to help bring a sense of distinct community to each area. Even today when you ask a Phoenician where they live in the city, they will probably tell you something like Arcadia, Anthem, Biltmore, Camelback Corridor, North Central or Paradise Valley to name a few.
The great part about Phoenix is that you have the amenities of the big city, yet you have the enjoyment of suburbia and the pristine beauty of nature no less than a half hour away.
Schools: For the most part, Phoenix School Districts are hit and miss. You have to truly dig deep and research the best schools available in the area you are looking in. There are many people in Phoenix who send there children to private school, because of their dissatisfaction with the schools in the older areas. I can tell you that the best elementary school district in the City of Phoenix is Madison Elementary School District.
