Suburbia in a central location
Set about 22 miles west of Phoenix and right on Interstate 10, Goodyear’s master-planned Centerra is made up of 21st-century suburban subdivisions, all with homeowners associations. The surrounding area been increasingly developed since 2019, with additions like the popular Goodyear Recreation Campus. Homes here are within a couple miles of well-rated schools, and close to Goodyear Ballpark and neighborhood shopping and dining. “This area's really family-oriented, but it's becoming quite a bit congested with all the growth,” says Stephanie Crow, a real estate agent with Century 21 Arizona Foothills, who has over 20 years of experience. “There are so many great things coming with the people, though, so that’s okay.” Some Centerra residents work in the local Amazon and Chewy fulfillment centers, while many others commute to Phoenix. The average home price here is $462,000, compared to $630,000 in central Phoenix, so homes here tend to be popular with first-time home buyers, as well as investors looking to rent out their properties.

Living by the ballpark
Goodyear Ballpark, about a mile south, is the spring training home of the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Guardians. The training season typically lasts from February through March, and each year, it attracts over 100,000 baseball fans. Each January, the ballpark also hosts the Arizona Balloon Classic, where colorful hot air balloons take to the sky while back on the ground, festivalgoers enjoy live entertainment and street food.
Brunch, beer and fast-food
Most of the neighborhood’s shopping and dining are concentrated around Estrella Parkway and Litchfield Road. Along Estrella Parkway, Carlson says. “They have everything that everyone wants, honestly. There's Aldi, Dutch Bros. Coffee, and Filiberto's, which is like the Phoenix-staple Mexican restaurant.” Along Litchfield Road, shoppers can find secondhand treasures and vintage clothes at Goodwill and Hope’s Closet or bargain hunt at Dollar Tree and Big Lots. To start the morning here, residents might get a workout in at Planet Fitness and grab a coffee or boba tea from Teabo. Waffleto’s known for its creative brunch fare, like pina colada waffles, and unique drink flavors, like blueberry mimosas and pistachio lattes. For an evening out, Carlson recommends Saddle Mountain Brewing Company, less than a mile west, where folks can enjoy a craft beer on the patio with live country music.
