Phoenix, Arizona is one of the fastest growing major cities in the country. This is due to so many reasons; the weather allows for over 300 days of sunshine every year, the cost of living is still more manageable than cities of comparable size, and the economy is not only growing but likely to increase in diversification which attracts workers of many different skill sets and types of education. Another thing is that Arizona provides affordable college educations that are respected outside the state, and the largest school, Arizona State University, has several conveniently located campuses in the Phoenix Metro Area.

Phoenix being a sprawling collection of suburbs affords its residents lots of space if they want it and a dense city center that can give people in the desert a taste of the best of urban living. The hottest neighborhoods in Phoenix offer diverse populations, elite sports teams, world class cuisine, and impressive entertainment options. Public transportation is improving rapidly but currently you still need a personal vehicle to be the most comfortable here. Housing prices can vary drastically, allowing more people to be within a moderate driving distance of the lifestyle they crave.
So, without further ado, here are the hottest neighborhoods in Phoenix:

Arcadia

The neighborhood of Arcadia is one of the most expensive and highly coveted communities in the city. The oldest homes here were built on large plots of land, so there is very low population density and lots of space for families to grow and play. Streets are lined with citrus trees, making every viewpoint a uniquely beautiful one. The best view, however, is that of Camelback Mountain. From a home in Arcadia, you can enjoy easy access to the Camelback Mountain Echo Canyon Recreation Area. When you are not on a mountaintop, the Biltmore Fashion Park is an always popular destination for high end shoppers.

Central Phoenix

If you want urban art and culture more reminiscent of a city like Los Angeles, Central Phoenix is your best bet in Arizona. Every day you could discover a great new place to eat, listen to live music, drink something cold, or be inspired by something thought provoking. The effects of incomplete gentrification mean a mix of the rough and the refined. No matter what happens, this won’t last forever, so moving here is something you should do sooner rather than later. The Phoenix Art Museum is probably the only institution that can boast it has priceless pieces from America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America under one roof. Comedor Guadalajara is an un-pretentious Mexican eatery that can rival the very best taco joints in the world. You can thank us later!

Surprise

What began as a small farming community is now a thriving suburb, perfect for families and those wanting to live at a bit of a slower pace. Just a little bit slower! Every day, more and more new home construction is happening here. The city is approximately a forty-five-minute drive from Downtown Phoenix. Does your family love baseball? Well, the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers hold their spring training at the Surprise Stadium. Are you a lover of the great outdoors? The White Tank Mountain Regional Park has fine hiking trails for all to enjoy! Not a hub of fine dining, much of the restaurant fare is relegated to the strip malls. Still, the food here is no slouch. Amuse Bouche Bistro will impress just about anyone.
