Apache Junction Arizona Real Estate Market Extending Valley Eastward
Okay, who would not like to live in a town with a name that lends itself to the
imagination? The name alone gives visions of a west long gone. Of a history
that now is only left in storybooks…However, Apache Junction is now available
for anyone wanting to live in the beautiful Arizona sun!
Eastward Ho
Located thirty-five miles directly east of Phoenix, Apache Junction is a desert
community with an elevation of 2,070 feet above sea level. It is also home to
the legendary Superstition Mountains. With numerous outside activities, it’s no
wonder that this small town is beginning to make its way to a more modern
scene.
Humble Beginnings
Apache Junction was incorporated in 1978. This quaint little town has never had
any of the downtown amenities normally associated with established communities.
While its history dates to the early 20th century, mining and transportation
were its main roots. It was not until the 1950’s that Apache Junction saw its
first residential and commercial development.
More Development on the Way
The population of Apache Junction has not seen the increase like other areas
near Phoenix. Many seasonal residents come and enjoy all that Apache Junction
has to offer. Year round population is estimated at around 41,000. With the
seasonal visitors, around 76,000 fill this 36.5 square mile town. With more
families, vacationers and business, progress is in the works for new and
updated construction.
New Visions
The city of Apache Junction is working on plans for revitalizing and
redeveloping the downtown area. Preserving the historic past while
accommodating the moderate growth. Combined with wide-open spaces and new and
updated amenities, Apache Junction will certainly be a destination spot for
many to call home. Not just for the seasonal visitor or tourists just passing
by. With its close proximity to Phoenix this might be a perfect bedroom
community for a person commuting to Phoenix. Apache Junction has room to grow
and the possibilities seem as endless as its blue skies. By Denise Wojcik
