The residents of San Tan Valley, located about an hour's drive southeast of Phoenix, take special pride in their community since they were the ones who chose its name only a few years ago. This newest addition to Phoenix's outlying areas consists of gracious homes for rent, often on large lots and in gated communities. Families in this area appreciate the excellent schools, and many love the fact that they drive past horse farms on their way to recreation in the nearby San Tan Mountains.

During the winter, spring, and fall, you can find your neighbors hiking at San Tan Mountain Regional Park, playing in the splash pad at Founders' Park, or riding horses at the Horseshoe Park & Equestrian Centre. Most people are new to this modern neighborhood, so many residents find it easy to make friendly connections as they relax on their porches viewing the desert sunset.

There is always construction so plan your route accordingly. On the plus side, lots of shopping is going up so commuting can be cut.

I have lived in San Tan for a long time (15+ years) so I have see the amount of development it has gone through. I'm glad so much has changed from the past, as there are so many reasons for people now compared to many years ago. However, San Tan's infrastructure is very reactive, not very proactive, and that is why many times the San Tan residents suffer (lack of road accessibility, lack if resources and more). I love San Tan Valley, as I grew up here and I hope in the future our city grows so more people can enjoy this place like I do.

My experience in San Tan Valley is very bland. There is not much going on and not a lot of things to do. If you want to go shopping you have to go to queen creek.

I have lived in San Tan Valley with my husband and children for six years. It was a small and safe town to raise our children but slowly is starting to expand and grow.
