Town Of Queen Creek

Town of Queen Creek, recently incorporated, is a small town community and one of the best-kept secrets in Arizona. A climate that features 330 days of sunshine annually, natural recreational areas and relaxed, rural lifestyle combines to draw people looking to relocate or retire. Queen Creek's approximately 19,000 residents enjoy the benefits of small-town living while being close to a metropolitan Phoenix area. Queen Creek is a family environment, with a low crime rate, easy commute, air quality and a variety of recreational activities. The town offers a Town Hall, Founders' Park, Desert Mountain Park, community center, and local schools offer ball fields, tennis, basketball, and volleyball courts. Four 18-hole golf courses are also available within the Queen Creek area. Queen Creek is named for a historic silver mining area in the neighboring mountains. The fertile valley below the SanTan Mountains offered a safe haven for the early Indian communities and the homesteaders who farmed and ranched along Queen Creek Wash. Citrus, cotton, pecans, vegetables, and other crops still provide for area families, and the wash is a key element in the town's plan for future recreational trails and open space.
