The Benefits of Living in Arizona - Phoenix Metro area
Phoenix is the capital of Arizona and the anchor of the Phoenix metropolitan area, also known as the Valley of the Sun, which in turn is part of the Salt River Valley. Home to approximately 4.73 million people, the metropolitan area has the 11th largest by population of any metro area in the U.S. Boasting year-round warm weather and sunshine, numerous championship golf courses and host to major events like the Waste Management Phoenix Open, the Barret Jackson Auto Show, and Cactus League spring training baseball, Phoenix has become the center around which more than twenty communities have grown in an area collectively known as the "Valley of the Sun.”
Metro Phoenix is considered the hub of commercial activity in the southwest as more and more businesses choose to relocate here from other parts of the U.S.- fueling the economy, attracting new residents, and driving up home values. Health care, manufacturing, and financial services are all solidly growing industries and technology and bioscience are also major economic drivers in the area. Fortune 500/1000 companies based or having major operations here include Avnet, Freeport-McMoRan, Republic Services, PetSmart, Apollo Group, Insight Enterprises and ON Semiconductor, Pinnacle West Capital Corporation, Amkor Technology, Swift Transportation, and First Solar.
Art and culture abound in the greater Phoenix area. The downtown Phoenix art scene has really developed over the past decade and dozens of museums span the valley including the Phoenix Art Museum, Arizona Capitol Museum, Arizona Military Museum, Hall of Flame Firefighting Museum, the Pueblo Grande Museum and Cultural Park, Children's Museum of Phoenix, Arizona Science Center, and the Heard Museum. You'll also find quite a few performing arts venues located mostly in and around downtown Phoenix and Scottsdale such as the Phoenix Symphony Hall, Arizona Opera, and Ballet Arizona, Orpheum Theatre, Dorrance Theater, and Herberger Theater Center. Concerts can be attended at Talking Stick Resort Arena and Comerica Theatre in downtown Phoenix, and Gammage Auditorium in Tempe (the last public building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright). The Mesa Arts Center in Mesa supports regular independent musical and theater performances.
Phoenix and the surrounding East Valley are home to numerous chic boutiques, high-end shopping malls, outdoor lifestyle centers, and designer outlet destinations.
