Mesa AZ Real Estate
If you're seeking a scenic city that experiences more than 300 days of sunshine each year, offers access to all of the recreational opportunities available in the Sonoran Desert, and is home to a growing economy and healthy real estate market, then Mesa Arizona may just be the right place for you! Real Estate Agent Re/Max Agent Cathy Carter can help you navigate the Mesa real estate market, whether you're considering selling your current home or looking for homes for sale in Mesa.
Almost half of a million people call Mesa home, making this East Valley city the state's second largest population center -- and it's easy to see why Mesa is popular. About 20 miles west of Phoenix, Mesa acts a commercial hub for the region. Not only has the city experienced a high rate of growth -- more than 50 percent -- through the 1990s and 2000s, Mesa is home to a well-educated workforce that draws corporations. The high technology industry and healthcare form the lion's share of Mesa industry; top employers in the city include Banner Health, The Boeing Company, Mountain Vista Medical Center and Special Devices, Inc. Other major public sector employers include Mesa PublicSchools, the City of Mesa and Maricopa Community Colleges.
And speaking of schools, Mesa's highly rated education systems also contributes to its appeal. The city's public school district, Mesa Public Schools, is an award-winning district with some students testing in the top one percent in the nation. Several of the states of Arizona's "Teacher of the Year" recipients teach in Mesa's public schools. The city is home to several charter and private schools, as well as post-secondary institutions such as Mesa Community College, Arizona State University's Polytechnic Campus, Westminster College, Carrington College and Wilkes University. Plus, the state's largest university, Arizona State University, is just a few miles away in nearby Tempe.
But great schools and a healthy job market aren't the only things that make Mesa real estate so attractive. The city's location in the sunny Sonoran Desert means that homes for sale offer convenient access to all that the great outdoors has to offer! Nature lovers can hike in the stunning Superstition Mountains, float down the Salt River, or take a boat trip on Canyon Lake or Saguaro Lake. Mesa is a golfer's paradise, with more than 25 courses within the city, and dozens more within easy driving distance in the East Valley.
For indoor fun, head to downtown Mesa and visit the family-friendly Arizona Museum of Natural History or Arizona Museum for Youth, or learn about the area's rich history at the Commemorative Air Force Museum. Browse the shops and sample the eateries lining the streets of downtown, or spend a few hours at Fiesta Mall, Superstition Springs Center or the bargain-hunters paradise of the Power Square Mall. For a taste of southwestern culture, take in a performance at the Mesa Arts Center; this 210,000 square foot venue is home to multiple theaters and concert halls.
Mesa's thriving cultural life is reflected in its real estate market, which has weathered the storm and is growing steadily. From 2012 to 2013 alone, the median home value in Mesa has climbed by 24 percent, a significant increase. Over the same period, the number of home sales has increased as well, by more than 8 percent. These upward trends are especially pronounced in popular neighborhoods such as Sunland Village East, Fountain of the Sun and Red Mountain Ranch.
