Peoria - an Opportunity Oasis

On the leading edge of the Phoenix metropolitan area, Peoria is one of Arizona’s fastest growing communities. This one-time farming community, founded in 1886 and located just 25 minutes from Sky Harbor International Airport, is a dynamic community of 180 square miles and more than 150,000 people today. Home to over 35 miles of trails, award-winning schools, well-planned residential neighborhoods, Major League Baseball, and the area’s second largest lake, this progressive yet grounded and well-balanced community is positioned to be a decisive component of Arizona’s economic future.

Where infrastructure and attitude actively connect people to the environment and to each other. - Peoria, Arizona.
