What Are the Best Suburbs in Phoenix to Buy a Home?

by Gale Culver

When clients ask, “Where should we buy near Phoenix?” I always ask: What’s your lifestyle like?

Here are some East Valley suburbs that consistently deliver for buyers:

Queen Creek: Newer homes, quiet streets, tons of growth. Great for buyers who want space but still need access to amenities.
Gilbert: Dog parks, breweries, and downtown charm. Ideal for dual-income couples with active social lives.
Mesa: One of the most affordable suburbs with easy freeway access and great starter home options.
Chandler: High employment corridor, great schools, and tech-savvy buyers love it here.

Each city has its own vibe, but all have options under $600K, especially right now.
