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.

Super quiet and nice, everybody minds their own business. Only change I'd want to see is just better roads and road safety.

Recently, there's been a lot of violence, especially in the 51 & baseline area. I was actually robbed at gunpoint whilst working in September.

I moved to Laveen almost two years ago. It was a huge upgrade compared to where I lived before. It definitely isn't the most luxurious place out there, but from where I had moved it is much cleaner and I definitely feel a little safer in my current neighborhood.
