Summertime vibes in South Gilbert

With distant views of the San Tan Mountain Range, South Gilbert is located within the sun-soaked Sonoran Desert, enjoying over 300 days of sunshine throughout the year. “Gilbert is the largest town in the Phoenix Valley and quite possibly the nation. It has all the amenities that one could need and amazing schools, but still has the tranquil atmosphere of a former farming town,” says Amber Perks, Realtor with eXp Realty, who has over 6 years of experience in the real estate industry. Less than 30 miles from Phoenix, this community is best known for its outstanding school district, planned communities and nearby amenities.
