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.

Good, spacious, animal friendly, but it needs dog parks, a community park, and bicycles lanes on roads. Also, there are not places to recycle, neither huge containers to trash big items like a sofa (like in Phoenix). Laveen ought to have off-road vehicles regulations and extremely loud music ought to be prohibited including fire-works on and around hollidays.

I lived in Laveen for about ten years, it is where I grew up. Laveen is where I made forever lasting friendships. One thing I enjoyed about Laveen is that it is a very friendly community. The area in which I lived they always had activities going on to which we could attend. Another thing I always enjoyed that came around annually was the Laveen BBQ. It was so amazing to see the community come together and enjoy a fun time together.

It has a country feel but not too far away from grocery stores and other amenities. Housing is affordable and the neighborhoods are well kept. People seem laid back and real friendly too
