At the Center of It All
Arizona City combines a scenic desert setting with a small town charm, metropolitan convenience and economic opportunity.
Nestled amid desert mountains, Arizona City’s convenient location at a halfway point between Phoenix and Tucson, offers visitors and residents wide-open spaces with the friendliness of a small community and the convenience of nearby metropolitan amenities.
Outdoor attractions include year-round golf on an 18-hole desert course, sailing and fishing at a 48-acre man-made lake, hiking and camping at Picacho Peak State Park (the site of Arizona’s only Civil War battle) and Jamestown Wild West Town where gunfight reenactments occur monthly.
Arizona City is an official part of the Juan Bautista de Anza Historic Trail. In 1775 Bautista and his party rested in the area which is now Arizona City after having come out of Apache land. The historic trail begins in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico and ends at the Presidio in San Francisco.
Arizona City offers a wide variety of architectural styles in housing from adobe and classic southwest to contemporary abodes and winter retreats. Here among the sprinkling of cotton fields, agricultural farms and cattle ranches, you’ll also find some light industry and family-owned businesses. Western Daze in February each year celebrates our western heritage and brings together our community and others by enjoying a parade, carnival, arts and crafts, and lots of entertainment. We always welcome new neighbors and businesses... come visit and stay awhile! |
