Review of Gilbert, Arizona


Gilbert is ever-growing
Star Rating - 3/9/2007
While Gilbert may not boast the "urban" lifestyle presented by Phoenix/Scottsdale, it's an amazing place to live. Shopping and restaurants within minutes of every home. The town is clean, safe and still growing. Property continues to appreciate and the people are so friendly. While the population is nearing 200,000 residents, it's amazing how Gilbert still maintains a bit of small-town feel. You won't be able to go to the theatre or a nightclub without a 25+ mile commute... but, if you really want to go out, there are plenty of bar/pubs with a great vibe. Gilbert is a place even a recent college grad might want to live.... and it's the place I dream of returning to when it comes time to raise a family.
