Once known as the “Hay Shipping Capital of the World,” more recently Gilbert has received nods like, “Phoenix’s Coolest Suburb,” and a “top 5 foodie neighborhood in metro Phoenix.” Gilbert is also consistently recognized as one of the safest cities and best places to live in the U.S.
All this adds up to making Gilbert your home base for Arizona explorations. We have 22 national parks (including the Grand Canyon) and 35 state parks here in Arizona to explore, many within an hour to a day-trip away from Gilbert.
