Frequently Asked Questions; Living in the Phoenix Metro Area
What should buyers know before purchasing a home in the Phoenix Metro Area?
The Phoenix Metro area, fondly know as the Valley, is large and genuinely varied. Each city has its own character, price point, and pace of development. Buyers new to the area tend to do better when they narrow down by lifestyle first: proximity to work, access to outdoor recreation, preference for an established city versus a newer one. Shea Homes® builds across the Valley in Chandler, Queen Creek, Scottsdale, Mesa, Peoria, Cave Creek, Apache Junction, Rio Verde, and Wickenburg.
What makes the Phoenix Metro Area popular for new homes?
It has experienced significant growth in recent years, and the growth has been driven by job creation in technology, semiconductor manufacturing, healthcare, and financial services. Year-round sunshine and a lower cost of living relative to coastal markets have pulled buyers from California and the Pacific Northwest consistently.
Why are buyers moving to the Phoenix Metro Area?
Jobs, affordability, and quality of life, usually in that order. Many buyers arrive from California or the Pacific Northwest having done the math on what their budget gets them here versus where they're coming from. The Phoenix area doesn't ask them to give up much: a major international airport, professional sports teams, a growing dining and cultural scene, and for remote workers, a climate that makes leaving the house year-round appealing.
What areas in the Phoenix Metro Area are growing the fastest?
Queen Creek has seen some of the most noticeable growth among the cities where Shea Homes® builds. Larger lots, newer infrastructure, and more inventory have made it a draw for buyers who want space at an accessible price point. Peoria and Cave Creek have also picked up interest from buyers looking for something quieter while staying connected to the Valley. Chandler and Scottsdale are established and largely built out, attracting buyers for amenities that are there rather than what's being built.
What outdoor recreation opportunities exist in the Phoenix Metro Area?
The Valley is ringed by desert mountain preserves and regional parks. South Mountain Park, the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, White Tank Mountain Regional Park, and San Tan Mountain Regional Park all offer trails for hiking and mountain biking. Golf is woven into the fabric of the Valley. Sedona, the Superstition Mountains, and the Verde Valley are close enough for a real day trip.
What major employers are located in the Phoenix Metro Area?
Intel, TSMC, and Microchip Technology anchor the semiconductor sector in Chandler,the East Valley and North Phoenix. Financial services companies including JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and Charles Schwab have large operations in the area. Banner Health and Dignity Health are among the major healthcare employers. Shea communities are spread across the Valley so buyers can usually find a location that makes the commute work.
What lifestyle opportunities exist in the Phoenix Metro Area?
Scottsdale's Old Town has a walkable mix of restaurants, galleries, and nightlife. Chandler has a vibrant downtown with locally owned dining and retail. Queen Creek is more suburban in feel, newer and more community-oriented. Downtown Phoenix offers eclectic dining and shopping offers at Roosevelt Row. Across the entire Valley, spring training brings 15 Major League Baseball teams every February and March, and the metro is home to NFL, NBA, and MLB franchises year-round.
What types of homes are available in the Phoenix Metro Area?
Shea Homes® offers single-family detached new construction across the Phoenix Metro area with floorplans and price points that vary by city. In Chandler and Scottsdale, homes tend to be larger and positioned at higher price points given the scarcity of available land. In Queen Creek, buyers have more homesite options and a wider range of floorplan sizes. Every Shea home includes SheaConnect®, and select communities offer casitas, detached garages, and multiple architectural styles.
