Laveen’s old-timey traditions bring together this growing community

Great Schools • Close-Knit • Pastoral • Events • Scenic • Airport • Arizona •

Laveen, a small urban village in Maricopa County, was once a predominantly pastoral community that has now bloomed into a mecca of housing and commercial developments. It’s about eight miles southwest of Phoenix, and is home to great schools within the Laveen Elementary and Phoenix Union High School Districts.

The annual barbecue is a Laveen tradition that pays homage to its rural roots. It began in 1950 and consists of country music, dancing, and a cow milking competition. You’ll love this community because of its scenic view of South Mountain Park, the easy commute to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, as well as nightlife at Lone Butte Casino in Chandler.

Good, spacious, animal friendly, but it needs dog parks, a community park, and bicycles lanes on roads. Also, there are not places to recycle, neither huge containers to trash big items like a sofa (like in Phoenix). Laveen ought to have off-road vehicles regulations and extremely loud music ought to be prohibited including fire-works on and around hollidays.

Laveen is a very inviting town with lots of street vendors and amazing people. People with small businesses in Laveen are very welcoming and the HOA community is very helpful and very inviting as well. They know how to bring the community together. I feel safe in my community as well as the school's here, have the best teachers and staff. I would like to see more change in the parks and them being kept clean as well as make more parks and other attractions to bring the community together more then there has been.

Laveen has become a great neighborhood for families. There is a great school that is nearby as well as playground da for kids. This community is up and coming as there are so many new things being built for the community with better resources.

I have been in Laveen since there was no Laveen: living in the same are for 14 years has been exciting yet mundane at the same time. With new complexes growing and families expanding, the community can be described as having potential. Local grocery stores and hang out spots are more than just stops, but mini communities. It has yet to reach its peak, but at the late times of dusk, there is nothing as beautiful as the sunset view stretching across this neighborhood.
