(Estrella Mountain Ranch Golf Club, one of several quality 18-hole courses in the surrounding area)
Located in the Southwest Sunbelt in the shadow of the Sierra Estrella Mountains, the town of Goodyear is one of the fastest growing communities in the fast growing county in the country - Maricopa. Goodyear is about 20 minutes west of Phoenix and is conveniently situated near several major transportation routes. As such, travel to larger cities in the region, including Phoenix, Los Angeles and San Diego, will not cause any undue headaches.
As Goodyear has become better recognized for its favorable business climate, companies have flocked to it. For instance, in the past 5 years over 40 companies have expanded into Goodyear (including Del Monte, Lockheed Martin and Rubbermaid), creating over 2,200 jobs. A highly-skilled and affordable work force, excellent schools and above average quality of living have been the leading reasons for this influx. In addition, Goodyear's close proximity to Phoenix has certainly contributed to its enormous economic growth.
Goodyear is not only a great town to find business opportunities, but it is a family-friendly town, consistently recognized as one of the safest towns in Arizona. High median household incomes and low median age are evidence of this area's prosperity and ability to draw new residents and families to the area. In addition to the resources of nearby Phoenix, residents have access to a variety of leisure activities, including horseback riding, golfing, art museums and, oh, the Grand Canyon (about 3 hours to the north).
Next time you visit Phoenix make a special trip down I-10 to Goodyear and explore its charm. You will be so impressed by its "Unsurpassed Quality of Life" that you may be tempted to come back for good. Just be sure not to leave your family at home if you do...Goodyear offers something for everyone and is truly a wonderful place in which to live your life.
