A family-friendly East Valley town with a lively Heritage District, plenty of parks and a wide range of master-planned neighborhoods.
Gilbert is in Maricopa County, between Mesa and Chandler. It is governed as a town rather than a city, even though it has grown into one of the larger communities in the Valley.
The Heritage District in downtown Gilbert is a gathering spot for restaurants and events, and the Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch offers trails and wildlife viewing. Lake communities such as Val Vista Lakes add a different kind of neighborhood to the mix.
Much of Gilbert is made up of master-planned neighborhoods with parks and HOA amenities, and the Loop 202 and US 60 freeways connect it to the rest of the Valley.
