Why Live in Gadsden
Gadsden, a neighborhood in San Luis, features residential streets laid out on a grid without sidewalks or shade. Homes here are primarily late 20th-century ranch-style or manufactured, set on dirt-packed or concrete lots of 6,000 to 7,000 square feet. Ranch-style homes typically have simple brick exteriors, three to four bedrooms, and either drought-tolerant grass or concrete courtyards, with some including attached carports. Manufactured homes, painted in shades of white, offer one to three bedrooms and attached carports. In the southern part of Gadsden, a few 21st-century ranch-style homes with stucco exteriors and attached garages sit on slightly larger lots. Gadsden Park, centrally located and bordered by Route 95, is a local hub for pick-up sports and family gatherings. Joe Orduño Park, four miles south, is San Luis’ most popular park, featuring sports facilities, a public pool, and a gym. Gadsden's commercial activity is limited to car dealerships and body shops, so residents often drive five miles south to San Luis for shopping and dining, including national chains and local eateries like Azul Cafe and Panchita's. Annual events at Joe Orduño Park, such as Dia del Niño and the 4th of July Freedom Celebration, draw residents for family-friendly activities and live performances. Route 95 provides easy access to San Luis and Yuma, with Yuma County Area Transit buses available for public transportation.
