Palm Valley is a 9,000-acre master-planned community slowly turning into Goodyear’s beating heart. Residents can do anything from spending afternoons poolside basking in the sun to enjoying balmy days playing rounds of golf on one of the several palm-lined courses. Goodyear also opened its new city hall on the southern end of the community. The more than 100,000-square-foot building shares nearly 50 acres of land with the Civic Square at GSQ. Featuring two lush green spaces, the Square already hosts the occasional outdoor yoga session, small concerts and events with food trucks and beer gardens. The city wants to establish a walkable downtown area around the Square, which will anchor a new mix of restaurants, shops, and housing. On the appeal of Palm Valley, Charles Barrett, a Realtor with eXp Realty and the leader for Team Kimble, thinks it’s simply “the community, man. It’s inclusive. There are a lot of different types of families, and everybody pretty much feels at home. They can walk to the park; they can have their kids walk to school because there are so many schools in the area. Everything you need is in the community.”

Contemporary Traditional homes with Spanish and Tuscan influences
Palm Valley has neatly arranged subdivisions. The community primarily consists of contemporary Traditional houses designed with Spanish and Tuscan influences. Tiled roofing and stucco siding comprise standard features, while a few houses boast distinct traits like turret roofs. On the designs, Linda Allison, a Realtor with Russ Lyon Sotheby International Realty, says: “You don’t see a lot of the really modern, contemporary boxes, glass and concrete.” Palm Valley is also home to PebbleCreek, a 55-plus community with luxury amenities. PebbleCreek’s facilities include multiple pools and a more than 300-seat venue with a stage and auditorium seating. Single-family homes across Palm Valley can go from $450,000 for ones under 2,000 square feet to $750,000 for larger builds with acreage. Even larger houses can reach the $1 million mark. Condos can run between $230,000 and the upper $300,000s. “It is a little higher pricing, but I think they seek it out just because of the feel,” Barrett says.
A range of architectural styles can be found throughout Palm Valley, with many being new builds.

I-10 connection to downtown Phoenix and Sky Harbor
Many here drive to commute, but the Valley Metro does have a few bus stops on the community’s outskirts. Interstate 10 runs along the southern end of Palm Valley, providing a direct connection to downtown Phoenix about 20 miles east. Arizona State Route 303 also goes to many communities and suburbs in the northern part of metro Phoenix. “People who are based at Luke Air Force Base, or anybody who travels frequently for work ... that would be a really easy commute for them,” Allison says. While the Phoenix-Goodyear Airport is only a few miles south, many here travel to the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport for out-of-state flights. The Phoenix-Goodyear Airport serves as a general aviation reliever airport for Sky Harbor. Major medical facilities close to the community include the Abrazo West Campus on McDowell Road, which has a Level 1 Trauma program.
