Queen
Creek has a friendly, rural atmosphere. Homesteaders
transformed area land into farms and orchards at the
turn of the century. The town plans to keep its
agricultural roots, open spaces and country character
while planning for balanced growth in the face of the
population explosion experienced by nearby East Valley
cities. Queen Creek features small town living
close to a metropolitan area with low crime rates, easy
commuting, excellent air quality, and recreational activities
that combine to form a low stress lifestyle.
Access
to both rail and the Williams Gateway Airport and large
tracts of affordable land make Queen Creek an attractive
place for prospective businesses. TRW and Arch
Chemicals are located in the Queen Creek area.
The
Town hall, Community Center and local schools offer
ball fields, tennis, basketball and volleyball courts.
Four 18 hole golf courses are available within the area.
Trails for hiking, biking or horseback riding take you
into nearby mountains or into the surrounding countryside.
Queen
Creek is near the San Tan Mountains, southeast of Gilbert
and about a 45 minute drive from downtown Phoenix--a
hidden oasis in the metro Phoenix east valley.
