City of Peoria
A rapidly growing population and recent annexations have made Peoria one of the fastest- growing cities in the United States. Peoria spans over 162 square miles and has more than 130,000 residents.
One of the best school districts in the state, affordable housing, new home complexes, and close proximity to downtown Phoenix are largely responsible for the influx of new residents.
Medical services and health care facilities in the Peoria area are among the most comprehensive in the Valley. The Arrowhead Towne Center in Glendale and adjacent North Valley Power Center offer a wonderful assortment of department stores, numerous specialty shops and restaurants.
The Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres train each spring at the Peoria Sports Complex, a quarter mile away from the Arrowhead Towne Center. Four new hotels and many new restaurants adjoin the Sports Complex. In addition, Peoria hosts two teams in the Arizona Fall League.
Peoria is the home of Lake Pleasant, a 24,000-acre water wonderland surrounded by desert flora and fauna. There are hiking trails, campgrounds, a lake overlook, and boat ramps.
