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.
Townhomes in Cortina provide low-maintenance living near local parks.

"There are lots of different school options. If the public school system isn't the right fit, there are schools focused on sports, academics or theater." Cortina Elementary School and Sossaman Middle School have A grades.

The CTE department also offers internships for 12th graders in fields such as criminal justice, software development and sports medicine.

Off-roading is big in the city, and every December, locals celebrate with the annual Queen Creek SXS Christmas Cruise featuring off-road utility side-by-side vehicles. "People come outside their houses to watch, and the Razors are always decorated with lights. It's so much fun," Bermudez says.
Convenient options to nearby cities for work and medical services
Cortina is about 12 miles from Gilbert and Chandler and 23 miles from Mesa. "The new 24 [freeway] connects to the 202, which wraps around the Valley.

Cortina is about 5 miles from Loop 202, which connects to Interstate 10. The nearest emergency room is a mile away at Arizona General Hospital in Gilbert.
