And a home in this area is a great investment. Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale Metro housing values grew by 12.8% from Sep 2021 to Sep 2022, according to Zillow.

Looking for a slower pace? Choose Wickenburg’s quaint vibe, the sprawling suburb of Surprise, or nearby Prescott. You can choose from modern homes and condos or traditional housing styles and convenient apartment living. Wherever you land, your commute will be notable for the stunning scenery, not bumper-to-bumper traffic.
