Cortina offers neighborhood amenities and highly ranked schools
Cortina is a master-planned neighborhood in West Queen Creek within walking distance of a top-rated elementary school. Homes have backyards, and families are close to parks, recreation spaces and places to shop. "Queen Creek is the fastest-growing city in Arizona. I'd call it the southeast Scottsdale family center. We have nice homes, nice communities and plenty of places to eat," says longtime resident Susan Bermudez, a Realtor with LPT Realty. With growth comes new infrastructure, and Queen Creek recently added State Route 24 and widened roads to ease congestion. "Unlike other areas where housing comes first and roads come later, the infrastructure was built alongside the housing here," Bermudez says.
Quiet streets in Cortina connect residents to parks and schools.

Convenient options to nearby cities for work and medical services
