Everything is accessible by foot in Queen Creek Town Center

Single-family homes bear Spanish and Mediterranean influences

Paved sidewalks, palm trees and desert shrubbery line most residential streets in the area. Spanish Revivals and Mediterranean-inspired single-family homes often have stucco facades and red-tiled roofs to combat the high Sonoran Desert temperatures. Houses tend to sell between $500,000 and $800,000, though outliers fall on both ends of the range. Three- and four-bedroom homes under 2,000 square feet can cost less than $400,000, and new luxury homes with six bedrooms, sprawling outdoor patios and sizeable pools may surpass $2 million.

Queen Creek Town Center consists of three and four-bedroom homes that may start under $400,000.

Students pave their own path in the Queen Creek Unified School District

Families have plenty of choices within the local school district. “There’s the school you’re zoned for, but you can also choose between any of the schools,” Bermudez says. “You can find a school that brings out the child’s best attributes or interests, which gives them the ability to excel in specific areas.” Many homes in Queen Creek Town Center zone for Desert Mountain Elementary, which scores an A-minus on Niche. Students often attend either A-rated Newell Barney Middle or Queen Creek Middle, which earns an A-minus. Queen Creek High has an A-minus and offers dual enrollment opportunities through Chandler Gilbert Community College. Kids attend school year-round, allowing for more frequent breaks instead of one long summer vacation.

The freeway system offers efficient options for getting around

When residents aren’t getting around by bike or foot, they navigate the town by car. The freeway system, which consists of state routes 202 and 24, is 5 miles away, providing routes into Phoenix, 40 miles northwest. State Route 202, known locally as the 202 freeway, also intersects with Interstate 10, which flows coast to coast from Los Angeles to Jacksonville, Florida. Mesa Gateway Airport, 5 miles north, offers select domestic flights, while Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, 33 miles away, has a broader range of services. Proximity to Mesa Gateway Airport causes some noise pollution and excess traffic.
