Receiving more sunshine than any other metro area in the country, the greater Phoenix area earns its nickname Valley of the Sun.

However, low humidity and relatively mild temperatures make way for popular pastimes like golfing, hiking, biking, and outdoor dining. As one of the nation’s largest cities and fastest growing major metro areas, Phoenix offers the perks of big city living with plenty of room to move.

Thousands of acres of desert parks, trails, and mountain preserves surround the Valley. Burgeoning health, manufacturing, and tourism industries are attributed to Phoenix’s fast-growing job market of diverse opportunities. Enjoy the upscale shopping and dining of Scottsdale or funky and vibrant downtown. Neighboring suburbs are quiet and friendly, but still within close proximity to all the action.
