Gilbert, AZ

united states

Gilbert sprawls across the desert southeast of Phoenix, easily reached via Interstate 60 and Loop 202. This former farming town has exploded into Arizona's fifth-largest city, popular with families for its schools and master-planned communities. The drive from Phoenix Sky Harbor takes about 45 minutes, while Mesa Gateway Airport sits just 15 minutes away. Gilbert's Heritage District still displays original 1900s buildings, including the old schoolhouse turned museum.
