Just eight miles south of downtown Phoenix, Laveen is a rapidly growing neighborhood big on community. “The reason I have lived here for almost 18 years now is because of the people; it’s a strong community,” says Andrew Hoyt of Keller Williams Realty, with two decades of experience in the area. “Over the past 18 years, there has been so much growth, both commercial and residential.” Some of this growth has been the building of new, large parks with modern amenities. There has also been an increase in new restaurants and national chain grocery stores being built in the neighborhood. Like much of the area, outdoor adventures like golf and hiking are a staple of everyday life.
Most homes in Laveen are newer builds, and some have great mountain views.

Adobe stucco homes
Single-family homes in Laveen have a median price point of $437,000. “These are extremely competitively priced compared to the surrounding area,” says Hoyt. Most homes are either ranch-style or Craftsman homes. The houses were built in the early 2000s but have been well-maintained and have a newer feel. Many have Spanish and Adobe influences and stucco facades. Lot sizes are typically small, and there is not a great deal of room between houses. Many favor rock landscaping instead of keeping up with a traditional grass lawn. Sidewalks provide an area for dog walking and exercise, while driveways and garages make parking easy.

I have lived here all of my life, from birth to present, and I loved it when it was just a little town surrounded by farmland, and little people. But now as I grow, Laveen grows with me and I am starting to not like the changes. While Laveen does get more exposure, which leads to more shops, it also leads to more people and with small roads and booming population, the traffic gets horrible. There is also a rapid increase in neighborhoods which means waking up to the sounds of construction and the destruction of precious farmland which was what Laveen was known for. There is a lot in store for the future of Laveen, but honestly I don't know how I feel about them, obviously I want Laveen to grow and prosper, but I think it is growing too fast. Roads need to expanded, less homes, more shops and places.

Laveen is a place where you can settle in and raise a family. It used to be a farming community but has now flourished. Although, it has grown in the past 10 years and is more populated, you can still enjoy all the beauties it has to offer. Laveen still has that small town feel welcoming feeling.

Growing town with everything close by so never a far drive to do something. With the new freeway open, it is a great place to be as it is convenient around.
