For those who like to be at the heart of the action, urban Arizona homes are ideal. Each of Arizona's towns offers fantastic annual festivals, with everything from native art exhibitions to ostrich racing, plus there are great dining, concerts and social events all year round.

There are plenty of places for pets to play in Gilbert, with a specially dedicated dog park off Greenfield Road where you can let them run around as much as they want. Crossroads Dog Park is open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. every day of the week.
