A trendy up-and-coming hotspot
Roughly 25 miles from Phoenix in the Southeast Valley, historic Downtown Gilbert is a formerly quiet, now hopping area destination for shopping, dining and entertainment that's affectionately known as the Heritage District. “It’s been really cool to watch our downtown become a trendy hotspot,” says longtime Gilbert resident Katrina McCarthy, a Realtor with Hague Partners. This walkable urban neighborhood’s locally owned boutiques, eateries, cocktail bars and breweries attract residents of all ages who want to enjoy a live, work and play lifestyle in homes that date from the early 1900s to just about now. “I love Gilbert, it has my heart,” McCarthy says. “I can’t say enough good things about it, which is why we’ve been here for 15 years. You never run out of options for eating and drinking and having a good time.”
A walkable main drag with eclectic shops and local staples for dining, drinking and family outings
Along the neighborhood's sidewalk-lined Gilbert Road, residents can, McCarthy says, “take a walk and enjoy the beautiful Arizona scenery or stop for a bite on a restaurant patio. There's every kind of food you can think of here." Nightlife spots include The White Rabbit, a swanky 1920’s-themed speakeasy with a secret password and hidden entrance, and local favorite restaurants include Joe’s Real BBQ, a cafeteria-style joint with wood-smoked meats and comfort sides. “A lot of the spots downtown are not only kid-friendly but fur-baby-friendly, too, where you can legit bring your dog to dinner,” McCarthy says; at O.H.S.O Brewery, for instance, pups can enjoy house-made dog treats while their humans enjoy house-made brews and classic American fare. Liberty Market is popular for everything from breakfast staples and espresso to wood-fired pizza paired with wine, while Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row is the go-to place for country line dancing to live music. Shoppers can buy boutique fashions for their little ones at Forever French Baby or stop into Rocket Fizz for old-fashioned candy and bottled soda. Groceries can be found 2 miles north of the neighborhood at Sam’s Club, Trader Joe’s and Sprout’s Farmers Market.
Community gathering at the beloved water tower, with sprawling nearby parks
Downtown’s main greenspace, Water Tower Plaza, is not surprisingly home to the town’s beloved, roughly 230-foot-tall water tower. “Downtown Gilbert is known for its water tower,” McCarthy says. “We don’t have many here in Arizona, as you can imagine, but it's been here forever, so it's kind of our little staple.” The tower is brightly lit with colorful lights that change for seasons, special events and at the special submitted request of community members. Popular for picnicking, community gathering and cooling off at the splash pad, the plaza also hosts community events like the Gilbert Farmers Market, where visitors can buy fresh produce and local artisan goods.
On Downtown Gilbert’s eastern side, 88-acre Freestone District Park is home to a small amusement park with a carousel and a miniature train ride, as well as an array of sports complexes and athletic fields; there's also an on-site skate park here, as well as a large playground and a lake with fishing access. A bit further east of the park, Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch is a 110-acre wetland and wildlife sanctuary with seven ponds surrounded by miles of hiking trails and a floating boardwalk, as well as a dinosaur digging site; the preserve's Neely Ranch subsection is found on Downtown Gilbert’s western side.
An emerging arts scene
HD South is the city’s arts, culture and history center, home to institutions like the Gilbert Museum, where residents can learn about local history through a collection of artifacts and photographs, and the Hale Centre Theatre, and intimate, immersive venue for concerts and plays. The three galleries of The Art Intersection showcase work by established and emerging creatives, while public art installations and murals can be found throughout downtown. On select Saturdays from October through April, Water Tower Plaza hosts the Gilbert Art Walk, a family- and pet-friendly juried art show that features live music.
A melting pot of homes, not just people
Most of the neighborhood's residential streets are lined with sidewalks that allow neighbors to walk to the action in the heart of downtown or to each other's houses. Local homes date as far back as the early 1900s, though brand-new builds are popping up in subdivisions south of the main commercial area; those built between the early 1900s and the '70s reflect traditional architectural styles of their eras, while those built in the 1980s and later feature the same Spanish-style details (like stucco exteriors and clay-tile roofs) that can be found throughout the Valley. Modest townhouses from the 1980s and '90s start around $250,000, while larger, 21st-century models can go for up to $500,000. Modest single-family detached homes that need some renovations start around $300,000, while those with more square-footage and acreage, set further from the downtown center, can go for as much as $2 million.
School choice in Gilbert Public School District
Downtown Gilbert is part of the Gilbert Public School District, whose open enrollment policy allows area households to apply to schools outside their zoning boundaries. Students in Downtown Gilbert can attend Gilbert Elementary, rated a B-plus by Niche, before moving on to the B-plus-rated Mesquite Junior High. At the B-rated Mesquite High, they can enroll in a variety of career and technical education courses to gain hands-on experience in fields like agriscience, journalism and early childhood education.
A convenient commute throughout the Valley
Gilbert Road serves as Downtown Gilbert’s main north-south thoroughfare, connecting residents south to State Route 202 and north to U.S. 60; both highways connect east with Interstate 10, providing convenient access to Phoenix (about 25 miles away) and beyond. Gilbert Road is also lined with Valley Metro bus stops, which connect riders to stops throughout the Phoenix metro area. Banner Gateway Medical Center is 6 miles northeast, and Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport is 10 miles east.
