Founded in 1888, this western most
community of the
Valley of the Sun is home to over 20,000 people. For the past 20
years, growth in the greater Phoenix area has been robust in three
of our four quadrants of the region. With those areas rapidly
nearing build out, the last frontier rests in the southwest valley
and the Town of Buckeye. Town planners project that it will
take at least 30 years for the nearly 600-mile planning area that
stretches from almost Wickenburg to Gila Bend, the Hassayampa River
to Perryville Road, to be built out.
As Arizona’s biggest “small town,” we
still enjoy the great feeling of a small community. Buckeye
celebrates Country fest in the fall, Pioneer Days in the spring, and
a great family Fourth of July.
Currently there are over 240,000
homes planned in Buckeye Arizona. Given the size and number
of the master planned developments within the Town limits, the
population will explode to over 100,000 by the year 2010. Along with
homes, there are world-class retail, entertainment, health care,
education, and employment uses planned. Buckeye is fortunate to be
intersected by five highways, home to a general aviation airport,
and served by the railroad. Virtually every major mode of
transportation makes Buckeye accessible from multiple points. In
addition to this, the Town of Buckeye sits on the state’s largest
untapped groundwater aquifer, the Hassayampa River Basin. And the
majestic view of the White Tank Mountains from every vantage point
creates a unique and unparalleled landscape.
Being located just 35 miles west of
Phoenix makes it convenient for work, sightseeing, and an exciting
nightlife, yet far enough away to retain a comfortable small town
feeling. Therefore, residents can take advantage of the amenities
found in a metropolitan city and throughout its western suburbs, and
then return to the quiet comforts of home. This once sleepy
agricultural town is at the dawn of a new era, and those residents
who are proud to call Buckeye home have found a great place
to live, work and discover the best that Arizona has to offer
