Why will you love Phoenix’s Southeast Valley? Let us count the ways! But first let’s define the scope. The Southeast Valley includes several cities. This blog covers three you’ve probably heard of—Mesa, Chandler and Gilbert—and a couple newer cities that are fast becoming popular—Queen Creek and San Tan Valley. Each of them has unique attributes, but all of them have something that will appeal to every age and lifestyle. Okay, let’s start counting all the best reasons to call the Southeast Valley home. Along the way, we’ll show you a few Taylor Morrison communities to put on your must-see list.
1) It’s Beautiful Here
Everywhere you look, there’s a natural wonder and, usually, there’s a trail you can take on foot, by bike or horseback to explore it. A favorite is the San Tan Mountain Regional Park and the Superstition Mountains. Read more about it and top outdoor spots in this blog.

2) Culture and The Arts
There’s more to Arizona than painted deserts. In fact, if you’re new here, the number of cultural attractions will surprise and delight you. The Mesa Arts Center and Arizona Museum of Natural History in Mesa, and the Arizona Heritage Center at Papago Park in Tempe are just three places where you can immerse yourself in Arizona lore.
