Southeast Valley & Pinal Fringe

The fast-growing southeastern edge of the metro where Maricopa County meets Pinal County. Queen Creek and San Tan Valley have surged in population with master-planned communities offering newer construction at competitive prices. Apache Junction and Gold Canyon sit at the base of the Superstition Mountains, providing dramatic desert scenery and a more rural pace. Florence and Coolidge serve as historic Pinal County anchors, while the City of Maricopa -- one of the nation's fastest-growing cities -- bridges the gap between metro Phoenix and the open desert to the south.
