I’m always keeping an eye on what makes our Arizona communities stand out—and it’s no surprise to see so many local favorites featured on the 2026 best places to live list. Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, Marana, Sierra Vista, Peoria, Scottsdale, Surprise, and Goodyear all make the cut. For those looking at real estate, Gilbert leads the way, while Scottsdale shines for renters and overall happiness. If affordability is key, Surprise tops that list. With 17 years in the business and experience from loans to commercial to residential resale, I’ve had the privilege to help clients find homes in each of these thriving cities. There’s something truly special about helping couples and families discover the right neighborhood for their next chapter—whether that means vibrant Scottsdale or the value you find in Surprise. Every city on this list has its own character, and I love guiding clients through the unique opportunities each one offers.
