Review of Gilbert, Arizona


Great place to live
Star Rating - 8/13/2008
I love Gilbert. I have lived here for 22 years. I have seen it grow from a population of 5,400 to the current 205,000 that it is now. It is the 22nd safest city in America. The crime rate is very low, thanks to to a great police department that operates with half the nationally recommended officers per 1,000 people. The violent crime rate is very low. There is a bit of a problem with property crimes, but it's not anywhere near as bad as surrounding cities. If you are interested in movoing to Arizona, the best city to live in is definitely Gilbert. The Schools are by far the best in the state, and the city (they actully call it a town) still has a small town feel to it. If you want safety and good schools, move to Gilbert.
