Communities give life and personality to the West Valley

By Ron Sanzone

he richness and diversity of the West Valley can be seen in the vibrancy of its communities. And those communities have begun to draw others from around the Valley and nation to their attractions. In the past year, more people relocated to Maricopa County than any other county in the United States. Much of the growth has occurred, and is continuing to occur, in the West Valley. For those who have recently moved here, there is no shortage of fellow newcomers also exploring and discovering the area. With abundant job openings, recreational opportunities, entertainment, dining and shopping options, and public and private services that benefit all, it is no wonder that so many have recently chosen to call the following cities home: • Avondale is a young, family-oriented community that features 12 parks, three lakes and the famous Phoenix Raceway track that hosts major NASCAR events. It is also home to the Tres Rios riparian habitat, where nature lovers can hike, kayak or canoe. • Buckeye is the West Valley’s westernmost community and, at 600 square miles, Arizona’s largest city. It is not only the fastest-growing city in the West Valley, but, with a population that has more than doubled since 2010, one of the fastest-growing in the nation. Situated in the shadows of the 6 WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

White Tank Mountains, it maintains its historic Western charm and family-friendly atmosphere despite the growth. • Glendale is the West Valley’s most-populous city. Home to about a quarter of a million residents, Glendale provides numerous shopping, entertainment, recreational and dining choices. It hosts popular festivals and events throughout the year and is the spring home of the Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers. It is also the home of Arizona Cardinals (and occasionally the Super Bowl) every NFL season. Its charming historic downtown area delights locals and visitors alike with a collection of unique shops and restaurants. • Goodyear is blessed with an abundance of sunshine, golf courses, lakes, parks, scenic mountain views and palm-lined streets. The city’s business-friendly environment has attracted numerous companies (and jobs) to the community in recent years. The Spring Training home of the Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds, Goodyear has been ranked by 24/7 Wall Street as one of the 10 best cities in the country to live in and has been rated by 93% of its own residents as a good or excellent place to live in the city’s own Citizen Satisfaction Survey. • Litchfield Park is the smallest city in the West Valley at under 3.4

square miles. But what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for with a wide range of community facilities, 11 city parks and an active calendar of events and festivals. The planned residential community maintains a small-town atmosphere just 16 miles west of Downtown Phoenix. It is home to the World Wildlife Zoo and The Wigwam. • Peoria is a rapidly growing modern city that still manages to offer residents wide-open parks and recreational areas for outdoor enthusiasts and those looking for a relaxing day out of the house. Nationally accredited municipal services; the P83 Shopping District; Spring Training facilities for the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners; and more than 50 miles of trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding add to Peoria’s appeal. • Tolleson is conveniently located near the intersection of Interstate 10 and Loop 101, providing easy access to both Downtown Phoenix and much of the rest of the West Valley. The small town prides itself on community connections. It offers events year-round, including street festivals that engage residents and visitors alike. Boasting one of the nation’s most impressive jobs-toresidents ratios in the nation, the city of 7,000 is the work home of 20,000 employees of more than 20 Fortune 500 companies.

Welcome to Buckeye

The far-west city is a wealth of alfalfa, birds and invested residents

By Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce

uckeye was founded in 1888 and incorporated in 1929 as a 400-acre town. The city now sits on 600 square miles, making it, geographically, Arizona’s largest city. The cotton, alfalfa and maize fields are still here, interspersed with housing developments and booming businesses. Buckeye is the country’s fastestgrowing city, according to 2015 U.S. Census Bureau data. Located just 35 miles west of Phoenix, Buckeye is convenient to work, sightseeing and an exciting nightlife, yet far enough away to retain a comfortable small-town feeling. Residents can take advantage of offerings found in a metropolitan city and then return to the quiet comforts of home. Population figures reflect the tremendous growth the city is experiencing. The special census recorded Buckeye’s population as 83,000 residents. These folks are hugely invested in this community and strive to make it the most ideal place to live, work, and raise a family. The growth is not just in residential development. Sundance Towne Center, Sundance Crossing and the Market on Broadway are home to a number of small retail businesses and restaurants, as well as large, national retailers, banks and restaurant chains, and retail outlets. The southwest corner of Dean and Yuma roads is home to the justice court, Buckeye Police and Fire departments, and the Coyote Branch Library. Educational opportunities include the West-MEC campus, the ASU Entrepreneur Innovation Center and the Grand Canyon University bachelor’s degree program. Estrella Mountain Community College Buckeye Educational Center offers classes in what used to be the original Buckeye Union High School. Every day, more than 75,000 cars travel through Buckeye on Interstate 8 WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

10, making the frontage roads an ideal location for a marketing and/or billboard signage opportunities. The city’s unique partnership with the State Department of Water Resources and Developers determined the ample water supply in the Hassayampa River Basin west of the White Tank Mountains can provide our growing city with water in the future. The Hassayampa River Basin is the largest untapped aquifer in Arizona. HISTORIC MAIN STREET Formerly old U.S. Highway 80, Monroe Avenue is Buckeye’s Historic Main Street. A stretch of the original roadbed is still in use where Monroe Avenue dead-ends into Apache. Old U.S. Highway 80 was originally called the Dixie Overland Highway or the Broadway of America. Before 1926, developers and towns scrambled to be on a coast-to-coast route. The Dixie Overland Highway was the first allyear, coast-to-coast roadway. Because many of these highways shared the same roadbed through parts of the country, people became confused by the colorful names given. In 1926, the federal government stepped in and replaced it with a numerical system. Old U.S. Highway 80 started at Tybee Island, Georgia, and crossed the country, entering Arizona near Douglas; continuing through Tucson, Phoenix and Buckeye; south to Gila Bend; and exited the state in Yuma. Its western terminus was San Diego. EDUCATION Arizona is a right-to-choose state for education. Parents can choose from a wide variety of school options, including public, charter, private, online or home education. Expanding school choice is the single best strategy for improving education for all children, and the state of Arizona proudly supports this initiative. The city of Buckeye is no exception.

ENVIRONMENT In spite of the heat and rain, the Sonoran Desert is one of the most diverse ecosystems in North America. Among the wildlife living in the Sonoran Desert are mountain lions, bobcats, javelina, mule deer, coyotes, ring-tailed cats and even bighorn sheep. A wide variety of desert plants ranging from mesquite and Palo Verde trees to brittlebrush and, of course, the mighty saguaro happily call the desert home. Cactus and creosote flourish, along with a wide array of wildflowers making their annual debut in early spring and again occasionally after the beginning the monsoon. The diversity and quantity of birds migrating through make bird watching one of the most-popular activities. In Buckeye, you may see them at Robbin’s Butte Wildlife Area and White Tank Mountains and Skyline regional parks. WEATHER Living in the surroundings dominated by a desert climate is an adjustment for many new residents. Buckeye sits in a microclimate somewhat different than Phoenix, with less rain than the Phoenix average, higher summer temperatures, cooler winter nights and more days of sunshine. Average spring temperatures range from 48 to 72 F, and summer temperatures range from 65 to 108 F. Annual precipitation is 7.6 inches, and the average is 36.4 days with precipitation. The annual sunshine average is 325 days. The monsoon season, which occurs between midJune and mid-September, brings powerful rain and dust storms. Humidity ranges from a record low of 2% to as high as 78%, with the annual average at 50% in the mornings and 23% in the afternoons. July and August are the months of highest afternoon humidity due to monsoon.

Welcome to Peoria

The community is continuing to build a vibrant city in the Northwest Valley By Rhonda Carlson Peoria Chamber of Commerce President and CEO

ith a rich history dating back to 1919, the Peoria Chamber of Commerce has not just served as an advocate and voice for the Peoria business community; it has consistently identified opportunities to be more and do more for all that call Peoria home. In fact, the Peoria Chamber originally provided all of the core services we are accustomed to today (power, water, sewer, fire and telephone services) until the city of Peoria was officially incorporated in 1954. Through the years, businesses of all sizes and varieties have sought the chamber as a vital resource to support their growth; better connect to other businesses, residents and visitors; and engage in efforts that promote a probusiness environment. Residents have sought living in Peoria for the excellent schools, beautiful landscape and overall quality of life. But as someone driven to help make my community a better place, I know there is always more that can be done. As a Peoria resident, I am privileged to serve in a capacity that allows me to build vital relationships with city and business leaders, those supporting the growth and development of our children, those who keep us safe, and those who strive to make Peoria a true gem of the West Valley. It is only through effective collaboration and a shared sense of purpose that incredible results can happen, and we have seen that over the years in how Peoria looks and perhaps more significantly feels to be here. From the vibrant P83 District — with no shortage of exceptional restaurants, retail and entertainment options — to the tremendous beauty and abundant 10 WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

outdoor activities at Lake Pleasant and rich culture and history of Old Town, Peoria is positioned to have just about everything you could be looking for in a community. And with the development of the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s production factory at our outskirts (the world’s largest maker of advanced computer chips), new Frito-Lay distribution facility (the world’s largest maker of potato chips), and continued growth of our small-business community, the economic outlook from chip to chip and everything in between is beyond promising. To best support a thriving business community, the Peoria Chamber focuses on the importance of connection and collaboration to make a greater impact. At the core of its efforts are the promotion and advocacy of its members, resources to support personal and professional growth, and networking opportunities that create an environment where business connections transform into friendships as mutual support of one another is recognized as key to the city’s shared success. To implement solutions that help tackle important needs within the community, the chamber utilizes its engaged membership and strong partnership with the city of Peoria in the form of its chamber committees: Education & Workforce Development: Serves as a bridge between the business and education community to develop opportunities that help prepare students to enter the workforce post-graduation and provide an outlet for businesses to promote their services to help attract talent. Government Affairs: Tracks legislation that will impact businesses; acts as a coalition to serve the interests of the business community; and fosters

communication between the Peoria Chamber of Commerce, the city of Peoria and the state Legislature to elicit positive changes that will promote a pro-business environment. Military Affairs: Recognizes the importance of providing opportunities that serve and support active-duty military, veterans and their families and focuses its efforts on programs and events that provide advocacy, outreach and mentorship to veterans transitioning into the workforce, veteran-owned businesses and other veteran needs in the community. Women 4 Women: Provides professional development, networking, mentoring and educational opportunities that aid in the growth and success of women entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals in our business community. Young Professionals Group: Aims to support individuals early in their careers with educational, social, volunteer and networking opportunities to further their career development and better connect to their local business community.

Quality Education

Strong schools are the key to strong communities

By Ron Sanzone

chools play an important role in parents’ decisions when relocating. Fortunately, there are plenty of quality schools in the West Valley. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICTS The nine schools of the Avondale Elementary School District have the highest percentage of A-rated schools in the Southwest Valley. With students ranging from preschool through eighth grade, the Buckeye Elementary School District is a high-performing school district that is passionate about student success. The 1,200 employees of the Glendale Elementary School District focus on meeting the educational needs of a diverse student body of more than 9,500. Liberty Elementary School District serves students based on their interests and offers programs in STEAM, agriscience, dual language, leadership, and International Baccalaureate and leadership. The Litchfield Elementary School District is committed to an evidencebased social-emotional learning program for a student body that ranks among the state’s best for standardized test scores. Established in 1912, the same year Arizona achieved statehood, the Littleton Elementary School District works with families and 16 WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

communities to develop the skills and success of its more than 6,000 students. The Palo Verde School District and its employees carry out a mission to provide an environment that motivates students to develop academically, physically and socially. The Tolleson Elementary School District believes that all children, without exception, are capable of success. Efrain Casillas, who teaches music at two of the district’s schools, Porfirio H. Gonzalez and Desert Oasis, was voted 2024 Arizona Teacher of the Year by the Arizona Educational Foundation. The three schools of the Union Elementary School District offer a comprehensive curriculum and a hometown feel without sacrificing any of the advantages found in larger districts. HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICTS The five high schools and three alternative programs of the Agua Fria High School District build partnerships with communities and tailor a robust academic experience for students to prepare them for the future of their choosing. From its humble roots of graduating two students in 1921, the Buckeye Union High School District has grown today to serve 5,600 students with rigorous academic standards and the development of 21st century skill sets.

The commitment of the Glendale Union High School District to student achievement and continuous achievement has earned it local and national recognition, including listings among U.S. News & World Report’s top high school rankings. Encompassing more than 100 square miles, the Tolleson Union High School District is committed to developing the potential of its staff, community and nearly 13,500 students. UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICTS Serving the community since 1889, the Peoria Unified School District prides itself on award-winning teachers, high test scores, schools that excel, and free all-day kindergarten. The award-winning teachers of the Saddle Mountain Unified School District help students achieve a 99% graduation rate and some of the highest levels of educational gains in the state and the country.

aily, the teachers and staff at Sequoia Pathfinder Academy in Verrado strive to live up to the school’s mission: “To deliver high-quality educational opportunities to students, helping them develop the competencies, character, and confidence needed to fulfill their individual goals and meet challenges of a changing world.” As K-6 Principal Joseph Jacobo notes, the Buckeye charter school achieves this goal by providing students with a STEAM-focused education in a caring, safe and encouraging environment. “This is Sequoia Pathfinder Academy’s fourth year in Verrado,” Jacobo notes. The tuition-free public charter school opened its doors in August 2020, and it has already received a great deal of positive attention and accolades from local families. “They offer us a lot of support, and our charter school has won the ‘Best of the Best’ in the West Valley for multiple years.” Sequoia Pathfinder Academy is in the Edkey Inc. family of charter schools. Edkey Inc., which launched the first online charter K-12 program in Arizona in 1999, now has 19 schools and programs throughout the state. The Edkey Inc. schools include larger rural campuses, smaller urban online programs, “back to basics” schools and Sequoia Pathfinder Academy — an inperson school that offers an elementary campus for kindergarten through sixth grade and a secondary campus for seventh through 12th grade. Both campuses are within walking distance of each other, Jacobo adds. What the Edkey Inc. schools all share, Secondary Principal Benny Rodriguez says, is a dedication to educating the entire child and embracing the needs of every individual student. “We are an Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) seventh to 12th secondary school, which is described as fostering a safe and open school culture, with high expectations for teachers and students, and an existing collaboration in all classrooms,” Rodriguez says. While Sequoia Pathfinder Academy 20 WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

shares the same mission and values as all of the Edkey Inc. schools, several key things set it apart. For instance, the school has a unqiue four-day week, with students attending school Mondays to Thursdays. “We have seen the success of this schedule with our data,” Jacobo says. “It has been great for staff morale, and the students love it, too.” This doesn’t mean students have to be in class for extra-long days. The primary school day starts at 7:30 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m. and the secondary campus is from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., he notes. “On Fridays, we can meet with teachers and have our specific staff meetings revolving around our professional development plan,” Jacobo says. “It’s also a learning experience for our staff, and on these days we have gradelevel meetings and professional learning communities.” The schedule, combined with a supportive school culture, has resulted in a great deal of teacher longevity. “We have a high retention rate of teachers and staff,” Jacobo says, adding that the families and students are equally loyal to Sequoia Pathfinder Academy. “When we get kids enrolled in kindergarten at SPVW, the goal is for them to stay with us.” There are many reasons students tend to stay at the school, Rodriguez says, including the outstanding teacher-tostudent ratio and the capped enrollment. “In kindergarten, there is a maximum of 23 students, and in first and second grade it’s topped out at 25,” Jacobo says. He adds that from third through 12th grade, they have a 28-students-to-oneteacher ratio. The elementary school is close to its 370-student capacity, but there are openings in certain grade levels, Jacobo says. “In the secondary school, which also caps out at 350 students, we currently have 239 students, so we definitely have vacancies,” he says. “Families can call to schedule a tour of either campus hosted by one of the administrators. We highly encourage taking a tour of the school.” The elementary school offers standardized curriculum, and in

addition a strong focus on AVID STEM Connections Curriculum with a special departmentalized model for fifth and sixth graders to help prepare them for middle school. “We also have four state-approved weekly specials for kindergarten through sixth: PE, music, art and computer literary,” Jacobo says. During the past two school years, the primary campus has offered free tutoring for students, and it partners with Arizona Science Center and Lego, to name a few. The Sky Hawks program also offers well-supervised and fun activities after school. Moving forward, Sequoia Pathfinder Academy will offer a wide range of extracurricular activities. “We are home to the 2023 state volleyball champions. We also plan on having football, cross country, basketball, soccer, and cheer and stunt,” Rodriguez says. Seeing students and staff thrive every school day is immensely rewarding for Jacobo and Rodriguez. “I’m really enjoying having the same teachers return year after year, and figuratively adding tools to their toolboxes, too,” Jacobo says. They are also grateful to work with Assistant Principal Jose Tapia and Deans of Students Amanda Mecca and Steve Ortiz. And they appreciate the continual support and encouragement from the assistant superintendent, as well as Edkey CEO Mark Plitzuweit. Watching students return year after year is also a highlight of Jacobo’s work. “I love that our kids don’t leave after kindergarten, and many who were here for kindergarten our first year are in third grade now. We also have a very supportive community and a great deal of parental involvement,” Jacobo says. For Rodriguez, Sequoia Pathfinder Academy’s supportive and warm environment stand out as exceptional. “Our school has a small-town family feel with caring teachers and amazing students,” he says. Sequoia Pathfinder Academy is located at Verrado Way and I-10 at 20370 W. Roosevelt Street, Buckeye. For more information, or to schedule a tour, call (623) 263-5400 or visit www.spvw.org.

All About Pets Keeping Pets Healthy and Happy West Valley filled with shelters, rescues, stores, parks and hospitals

By Ron Sanzone

he West Valley not only has much to offer people who move here, but also the pets they bring with them. Spared from blizzards, tornadoes, hurricanes and nonstop downpours, the area is ideal for taking pets out for walks, playtime and trips. Their new hometown has everything they need to stay healthy and happy. SHELTERS AND ANIMAL RESCUES For humans seeking animal companionship, a great place to look for a pet is at a local shelter or rescue. When bringing a new family member home from a rescue or shelter, the pet is already vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and often microchipped. West Valley Animal Shelter assists county shelters and humane societies when their facilities cannot accommodate the number of animals brought to them. All of the nonprofit’s animals are fostered and are microchipped, dewormed, vaccinated, and spayed or neutered before adopted out. Sun Valley Animal Shelter is a nokill shelter offering cats and dogs for adoption. The 501(c)(3) nonprofit finds homes for more than 700 animals a year. Buckeye Animal Rescue & Kennel (B.A.R.K.), also a nonprofit, rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes animals such as dogs, cats, goats, horses and chickens. 34 WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

PET STORES AND SUPPLIES When pets need food, toys or other supplies, it is good to know that there are plenty of places around to get them. PetSmart and Petco have multiple locations throughout the area and carry supplies for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles and more. The two major retailers carry everything from pet food, leashes and collars to terrariums. Peoria’s Pet Market provides the best of the best so owners can feed their pets healthy and nutritious meals. Its experienced team can help dog, cat and bird owners select the best food for their animal’s diet. Petz Place is a family-owned store that sells high-quality pet food (including raw food), treats and supplies. It has a convenient drive-thru for picking up orders placed online. DOG PARKS Dog owners can run and play with their pooches year-round in the West Valley. And there is no shortage of dog parks to provide spaces to play and socialize with other dogs. Sahuaro Ranch Dog Park in Glendale is an off-leash park with agility equipment, water fountains, waste stations, and a designated area for little dogs. The park is closed on Tuesdays. A dog park adjacent to Sundance Park in Buckeye features separate grassy areas for large dogs and small

dogs, as well as obstacles and water access. Goodyear’s Roscoe Dog Park has separate areas for passive dogs and active dogs. It also provides doggie bags and has water fountains for both humans and dogs. ANIMAL HOSPITALS No owner ever wants to see his or her pet fall ill or suffer an injury. But it is good to know that there is plenty of care available in the West Valley for those times when animals need it. The experienced, compassionate team at Arrow Animal Hospital & Grooming provides quality preventive, medical and surgical care for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds and exotic pets. The hospital also offers dental care and a free vaccines for life program. Blue Pearl Pet Hospital’s Avondale and Peoria locations are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to handle pet emergencies. The full-service hospital is equipped with X-ray, ultrasound and laboratory equipment, as well as emergency surgery facilities. Family-oriented Glendale Animal Hospital emphasizes personal attention, care and service. The practice offers inpatient and outpatient services and specializes in caring for dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits and other small mammals.

Getting Fit

There are plenty of healthy living options

By Ron Sanzone

ne of the significant reasons people choose to move to the West Valley is because of its climate. Instead of shoveling snow or navigating through rain-soaked streets, West Valley residents can exercise outdoors in the winter or drive to a facility without worrying about icy conditions. There are many ways to support one’s health in the West Valley, including the following: FITNESS CENTERS Cities in the West Valley feature community centers with gyms, public pools and other facilities for keeping fit that are either free or low cost for residents. Another affordable option is the Southwest Valley YMCA. The nonprofit provides members with an Olympic-sized swimming pool, fitness center, group classes and outdoor sports courts. Members of Mountainside Fitness have access to cardio equipment with 38 WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

entertainment systems, 10,000 pounds of free weights, and a specialized cycle studio. Personalized touches include a free towel service and a recovery massage chair. Planet Fitness keeps membership fees low and affirmative encouragement in a judgment-free zone high. With more than 2,400 clubs throughout the nation, a gym is never far away. EoS Fitness offers members a wide variety of exercise methods to break a sweat: a training area on turf, weights and cardio machines, more than 60 classes a week at each location, and a cinema where one can work out while watching a movie. MASSAGE To relieve sore muscles after a workout or just to melt away the cares of the day, West Valley residents seek relief in massages. They have plenty of choices in where to book an appointment. The massage therapists at Massage

Envy provide a customized experience and are trained to meet industryleading standards. The therapeutic, handcrafted and personalized approach at Elements Massage leads to high customer satisfaction scores. Hand & Stone personalizes each massage to provide clients relaxation and overall wellness. MEDSPA Those who want to both look and feel great seek rejuvenation at the West Valley’s medspas. Advanced Image Med Spa promotes its clients’ overall health and well-being through a holistic approach. Deja Vu Med Spa strives to make clients feel beautiful on the outside and inside with a range of treatments including body contouring, weight loss and hormone rebalancing. Salon Blissful Med Spa and Beauty Bar provides individualized treatment plans and employs the latest minimally invasive procedures.

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE 41

Health Care Medical Services When You Need It Hospitals, cancer centers and urgent cares are all in the West Valley

By Ron Sanzone

ne of the best things about living in the West Valley is it has all of the services and amenities you normally find in a major metropolis. For example, because the West Valley is so close to Phoenix, it is home to a wide number of outstanding medical facilities. From urgent cares and hospitals to specialists and more, you do not have to make a long drive to get top-notch medical care. HOSPITAL/ER Abrazo West Campus, located at 13677 W. McDowell Road in Goodyear, opened in 2003 as a small community hospital but has expanded as the area has grown. Now it boasts a Level I Trauma Center, as well as orthopedics, interventional cardiology, stroke and vascular care, women’s health, robotic-assisted surgery, spine surgery and obstetrics care. Abrazo Arrowhead Hospital has been serving Glendale and the Northwest Valley for over 30 years and is known for its surgical services, cardiovascular care and women’s care. The facility has been named Best Hospital by U.S. News & World Report for its work in five adult procedures and conditions: abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, congestive heart failure, colon cancer surgery, COPD and hip replacement. The hospital is located at 18701 N. 67th Avenue, Glendale. Call (623) 561-1000 or visit abrazohealth. com for more information. An additional option for emergency services is Arizona General Hospital, 251 N. Estrella Parkway in Goodyear. It’s open 24 hours and offers the same services as other emergency rooms, but for inpatient services, those patients would be 42 WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

transferred to a different location. Visitors here can utilize emergency medicine and digital imaging, including CT scanning, X-ray and ultrasound. URGENT CARE For less-serious emergencies, there are many urgent care centers in Buckeye, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Avondale, Glendale, Peoria and Tolleson. Banner, Alliance and FastMed urgent cares have multiple locations, among other urgent care facilities. As a newcomer, take note of the nearest ones to you so you can be prepared. Another option is Phoenix Children’s Urgent Care, which offers after-hours pediatric doctor availability. The one in the West Valley is called Southwest Valley Urgent Care and is located at 1665 N. Avondale Boulevard, Avondale. See any facility’s website to find more information about setting an appointment and the amount of time it will take for test results. FAMILY MEDICINE/SPECIALISTS In Buckeye, Abrazo Health was scheduled to break ground on the first phase of development for its new medical campus at I-10 and Verrado Way. The 27-acre campus will include medical offices, ambulatory services and an acute care hospital. The first phase will be a three-story, 60,000-square-foot medical office building. Tenants are slated to include cardiology, orthopedics, spine, primary care and urology physician practices, physical therapy and other offices. Dallas-based health care Cambridge Holdings Incorporated will develop the new medical office building.

It would be hard to list all of the family doctors and specialists in the West Valley. From primary care doctors and pediatricians to gastroenterologists and physical therapists, many in the medical community are ready to assist. How do you choose? Ask your neighbors and friends, check out reviews online, and double-check preferred options through your health insurance for ideas. CANCER TREATMENT Cancer is an unfortunate reality, but thankfully there is a treatment center in the West Valley to help. City of Hope, formerly known as Cancer Treatment Centers of America, has a comprehensive cancer treatment hospital at 14200 W. Celebrate Life Way in Goodyear. There, multidisciplinary cancer experts coordinate treatments and provide comprehensive cancer treatment tailored to the patient. NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE Sometimes things are going on in the body that do not show up on tests but still hamper everyday life. Try taking a more holistic approach to healing. Several naturopathic clinics in the West Valley can help. Elixir Alternative Medicine, 9210 W. Peoria Avenue, Unit 4, Peoria, offers routes for any health issues, both acute and chronic. Call (623) 755-7700 or visit elixiralternativemedicine.com. West Valley Naturopathic Center, 1646 N. Litchfield Road, Suite 200, Goodyear, specializes in helping patients with thyroid function, weight loss, food sensitivity testing, hormones, IV therapy and more. Visit wvncaz.com or call (623) 643-9598 to learn more.

Dr. Kelly Hilgers

Dr. MICHAEL Hilgers

PEDIATRIC DENTIST

ORTHODONTIST

I am so excited to welcome you and your child to Hilgers Pediatric Dentistry. As a mother myself, I understand how difficult it is to trust someone else with your child.

Dr. Michael Hilgers was born in Denver, Colorado and graduated from Green Mountain High School in Lakewood, Colorado. He was an all-state athlete in high school and looked forward to playing soccer on a scholarship in college until he injured his knee. Dr. Hilgers then became interested in athletic training during his rehabilitation and attended the University of Colorado in Boulder on an athletic training scholarship. He was an athletic trainer for five years with the National Champion University of Colorado Buffaloes football program. After graduation from the University of Colorado, Dr. Hilgers interned as an athletic trainer for the Denver Broncos & Colorado Avalanche and was later hired on as the athletic trainer for the Colorado Rapids.

On a daily basis, I am trusted by parents just like you to care for their children and keep their children’s smile healthy. I can honestly say that I treat my patients as if they are my own children. I adore my patients, and I love getting to see their happy, smiling faces. I enjoy working with all of my patients’ families and building a trust that lasts for years. Making a difference in a child’s life is the most rewarding feeling. My staff and I provide children’s dental care in a way that is comfortable, safe, and fun for the child. I am sincere in saying that I truly love my job as a pediatric dentist. In the practice, I use technology and provide treatment options that will make your child’s first dental visit, and every visit, seem less intimidating, and more fun. By catching dental problems early, we can help your child prevent damage or tooth loss later in life. The relationships that our office develops with our patients and their families, to us, are priceless. I look forward to getting to know my patients, hearing about all of their adventures in life, and listening to what is important to them at each and every appointment.

After several years as an athletic trainer, Dr. Hilgers decided to follow in his family’s footsteps and become an orthodontist. Dr. Hilgers has a long family history in orthodontics with many of the orthodontic appliances patented by his family and displayed at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. Dr. Hilgers received his Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver, where he graduated in the top of his class. He then did a one year residency and one year fellowship at Yale University in Connecticut. Dr. Hilgers was then accepted at the University of Louisville Orthodontic Department, where he received his Master of Science (MS) and orthodontic specialty certificate. Dr. Hilgers has published numerous articles in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, of which two of his articles were featured on the cover. Dr. Hilgers obtained his Board Certification in 2005 and is an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists. Dr. Hilgers loves that he develops long-term relationships with his patients, and “although our job is not always easy, helping people feel better about themselves and their smiles makes it all worthwhile.”

Shopping & Services

Shop Local

The West Valley is peppered with cute shops and boutiques

By Ron Sanzone

hopaholics, casual shoppers, window shoppers and those just running errands have one thing in common in the West Valley: an abundance of stores where they can find what they need and discover something new they might like. From big-box retailers to mom-and-pop shops, West Valley stores carry items to fit everyone’s tastes. While stores abound everywhere and anywhere throughout the area, here are some of the West Valley’s major shopping destinations: TANGER OUTLETS Bargain hunters who do not want to skimp on quality have made this outlet mall a popular stop when they are looking for gifts for others or picking things up for themselves. With nearly 100 tenants, the outlet is easily able to clothe its visitors from head to toe, no matter their lifestyle or sense of fashion. The Glendale outlet’s retailers include Lids, Levi’s Outlet, Coach, Perfumania, Nike Factory Store and Bath & Body Works. With dining options such as Fired Pie and Subway, shoppers do not need to rush home when they build up an appetite. 58 WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

ARROWHEAD TOWNE CENTER

DOWNTOWN GLENDALE

Located right off the Loop 101 on a strip of Bell Road that straddles the border between Glendale and Peoria, Arrowhead Towne Center is an easy-to-reach destination for great shopping. The indoor mall keeps shoppers cool during summer days and warm on winter evenings. With the AMC Arrowhead 14 Theater and 180 stores and restaurants, the Glendale shopping center has enough activity to keep anyone busy for a few minutes or an entire day. The mall’s stores include H&M, Foot Locker, Macy’s, Lululemon and Sephora. Shoppers who bring their children can keep the little ones from getting bored by stopping by stores such as Build-A-Bear Workshop, Lego Store and Toys R Us.

When they want options other than chain retailers and cookie-cutter stores, shoppers head to Downtown Glendale. Located near Murphy Park and City Hall, the quaint city center is dotted with locally owned stores, boutique shops and businesses. The unique stores found in the area include The Astrology Store, The Cottage Garden, Pink House Boutique, Bears & More and Auntie Em’s & Smilin’ Jack’s Pedal Cars. In addition to its charm, Downtown Glendale is well known for its antique shops. Shoppers looking for vintage and one-of-a-kind items for their home can stop by shops such as Memory Lane Trinkets and Treasures, Military Items and Zola Bell’s Vintage Emporium.

LAKE PLEASANT TOWNE CENTER Lake Pleasant Towne Center in Peoria features an eclectic mix of boutiques, retail anchors and restaurants. The outdoor shopping center features stores as diverse as Home Depot, Michaels, Ulta Beauty, Leslie’s Pool Supplies and PetSmart. Shoppers who work up an appetite can grab lunch or dinner at restaurants such as Twisted Italian, Tom Yum or Panera.

LITCHFIELD SQUARE As the West Valley continues to grow rapidly, commercial developments and concomitant retail stores try to keep up with and accommodate the growth. One of those new projects being built is Litchfield Square. Once completed, the 400,000-square-foot development in the heart of Litchfield Park will center around a 2.5-acre park and attract retailers, restaurants and offices. It promises to add yet another exciting shopping destination to the West Valley.

Have a clear understanding of how you’ll live on your sectional to be sure you aren’t overwhelmed with the upkeep. (American Furniture Warehouse/Submitted)

MAINTENANCE If you have kids, pets or particularly messy friends, they might have more of an impact on your furniture choice than your style preferences. Lightcolored fabrics and kids don’t always get along, and darker-colored furniture is not going to hide pet hair. Have a clear understanding of how you’ll live on your sectional to be sure you aren’t overwhelmed with the upkeep. MODERN, MINIMAL OR MIDCENTURY Determining your design style and

aesthetic is essential to finding your perfect sectional. Sure, the oversized U-shaped sofa might be incredible, but does it go with the rest of your home’s décor? A sectional is an excellent way to begin your decorating journey. If you’re incorporating a new sofa into an existing space, get a few design ideas before you buy. American Furniture Warehouse’s Designer’s Den series at afw.com has tons of useful information and plenty of helpful inspiration. Explore more tips, ideas and inspiration at afw.com.

2023 From our Family to Yours, welcome to the West Valley. tar The Glendale We opened Memory Lane Trinkets and Treasures in 2019. Our boutique-style family-owned shop is located inside a 1948 ranch-style historic building in the Historic Catlin Court District in Downtown Glendale. We feature nine unique rooms showcasing gift items, fashion jewelry, handbags, women's apparel, infant and toddler clothing, home & garden décor, an all-yearround Christmas room, kitchen gifts, and Arizona souvenirs. We are also the Phoenix area stockist for Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Over the years, we have become a business incubator showcasing incredible Artisan Collections. We now feature more than 150 experienced artisans, emerging makers, and specialty vendors. We are also home to the Arizona Information Center featuring more than 100 brochures, maps, and visitor guides for Arizona. We are honored that you voted Memory Lane as the Best Place to Shop in Glendale (for the 4th year) and Reader Recommended Best Kept Secret, Best Jewelry Shop and Best Customer Service. We’d love to see you soon at Memory Lane Trinkets and Treasures for a fun day of shopping to find those perfect gifts for family and friends (and something for you too!) Our lives truly changed last October when we became the new owners of The Spicery Tearoom. The Spicery Tearoom has been named as the Best Place for Brunch in Glendale. The Spicery is Glendale’s Original Tearoom. We are honored to continue the more than three-decades of traditions. Built in 1895, the restaurant is located on a National Register Site inside one of Glendale’s first homes. We serve a delicious lunch experience, and a delightful three course tea is also available (with a 2-day advance reservation.) We are excited to keep all the treasured memories and history alive of this one-of-a-kind place in Historic Downtown Glendale. We hope to see you very soon for lunch at The Spicery Tearoom. Our talented and wonderful team is ready to give you an exceptional experience. Warmly,

Local Favorites

Flavors and unique experiences in the West Valley

By Summer Aguirre

he West Valley is filled with fun dining experiences. Of course, there are chain restaurants conveniently dotting the high-traffic areas, but be sure to hunt for those extra-special local places you can’t find anywhere else. Here are a few in each city: AVONDALE Flavors of Louisiana, located at 13025 W. Rancho Santa Fe Boulevard, Suite B103, is one of the highest-rated restaurants in Avondale. Why? Probably because it’s one of the few places to find dunkin’ catfish, crab Landry, seafood gumbo, jambalaya and shrimp creole. Dine-in and takeout options are available. Learn more by calling (623) 935-2357 or visiting its website at flavorsoflouisiana.com. If you’re in the mood for Mediterranean, try Pita Kitchen at 9915 McDowell Road, Suite 104. Its menu features pitas, wraps, bowls and plates that can be customized with proteins like gyros, shawarma and falafel and several sides. Takeout, delivery and catering are available. To find out more, call (623) 478-8900 or visit pitakitchen.net. Locals have long recommended Tacos Tijuana at 10220 W. McDowell Road. This place is the real deal when it comes to tacos piled with homemade goodness. With dine-in, curbside pickup and delivery options, tacos are always an option. See the menu at tacostijuanaaz.

Glendale Avenue, the restaurant is a perfect stop for bratwurst accompanied by potato salad and sauerkraut, or a giant salted pretzel and a beer. Check out its menu at hausmurphys.com or call (623) 939-2480. For a sweet-tooth fix, Coyote Oaties, located at 7005 N. 58th Avenue, follows a mission of serving fresh cookies every day.

The quirky empire is all about family

By Pete’s Fish & Chips

alley landmark Pete’s Fish & Chips is serving its fifth generation of customers. The quirky fast-food empire with the red-and-white sign has eight locations from Tolleson to Mesa. The late Pete Grant served in the Navy during World War II. While in Australia he noticed how quickly a meal of battered, fried fish and potatoes could be prepared and served. That idea of fast food stuck with him. Grant opened his first restaurant near Downtown Phoenix in 1947. Daughter and co-owner Kathy Adams likens that shop to a shanty, with a neighbor’s hose for water. “He had $900 in his pocket when he came out here,” Adams says. “He bought a fryer, fish filets, potatoes and paper plates. At the end of the first day, he had $12 profit.”

A year later, Grant had four restaurants. He served hamburgers, fish and chips and his special sauce. “My dad’s claim to fame was his secret sauce,” Adams says. “We’re very proud of it. We want our customers to use the special sauce on the fish and chips. It’s made fresh every day, is spicy and not plain like ketchup.” “We are a small business. It’s just us and our employees,” Adams explains. Most of the managers are family. If they aren’t, they might as well be. Some have worked for Pete’s since they were teenagers. One manager at Pete’s is a third-generation manager. Adams’ grandchildren are working there. “The roots run deep. One of the reasons we are so successful is Pete’s is a family-run business,” Adams says.

Pete Grant opened his first Pete’s Fish & Chips in 1947. It’s a family-run business. (Pete’s Fish & Chips/Submitted)

Roman’s Oasis Bar and Restaurant, now in the middle of the thriving City of Goodyear, was once in the middle of cotton and corn fields. Self proclaimed ‘Hillbilly’ Roman Comer took over the business in 1986; adding on to the existing 2,800 SF to make what is now 9,000 SF of dining, drinks and dancing. Roman’s daughter Myra Curtis took over the business in 2015 with the goal of continuing her daddy’s legacy of providing a fun, local community gathering spot. “If you don’t have fun at Roman’s, it’s your own fault”, laughs Curtis. Roman’s Oasis is a destination with entertainment every night of the week; all activities are free. A full kitchen is available 7 days a week (Sunday – Thursday; 11am – 9pm) (Friday and Saturday; 11am – 10pm).

Hometown Pride

Communities within the West Valley offer ‘extras’ for residents

By Carrie Snider and Taylor O’Connor

he West Valley is made up of more than cities and towns. It is also home to several communities and neighborhoods, each with its own distinctive feel and personality. Because these subdivisions and areas tend to feature different amenities — including parks, swimming pools, walking trails and more — when you are looking for a home in the West Valley is it wise to not only look at the floor plan but also what the neighborhood has to offer. Here are just a few communities within the West Valley: GOODYEAR Estrella is the largest subcommunity in Goodyear. It started 25 years ago and has grown to encompass more than 40,000 residents. Why is it so popular? Location is one thing. It’s at the base of the Estrella Mountains, meaning great views. It’s not as close to the freeway as other communities; however, the tucked-away-but-stillclose feeling is a huge draw. There are 72 acres of lakes, schools within the community, pools, parks, trails, plus room to add more homes. Palm Valley is a 9,500-acre community located north of I-10, between Loop 303 and Dysart Road. 96 WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

One of its biggest draws is its 36-hole championship golf course. Plus, Palm Valley’s trails and parks make for more outdoor fun. PebbleCreek is resort living at its finest. This community of about 6,000 active adults has 54 holes of championship golf, along with a variety of fitness centers and restaurants. It’s a pretty tight-knit community of retirees who love the weather and their neighbors. BUCKEYE Verrado is a well-established community in the area. Probably one of the things standing out most at Verrado is the variety of home styles, coupled with its tree-lined streets. Plus, you can’t miss its walking trails and over 70 parks. It’s built like its own city and even has its own events and concerts. Residents can also use its two pool facilities, golf course and other sports playing areas. Sundance is the perfect spot for those who want quick access to I-10 as well as golf and great views. It is a 2,000-acre community located at Watson Road and the freeway near the White Tank Mountains. The Greg Nash-designed Sundance Golf Club is at its center and is a draw for residents and the public. Besides the golf course, the Sundance community has a 30-

acre park that includes playgrounds; walking trails; a dog park; as well as baseball, softball and football/soccer fields and volleyball courts. Sienna Hills is a newer community located north of I-10 at McDowell and North Verrado Way with views of the White Tank Mountains. Amenities include a pool, splash pad, fitness center and park. AVONDALE Garden Lakes is ideal for those who want to be minutes from Downtown Phoenix while in a waterfront community. Located north of Thomas Road between the Agua Fria River and North 107th Avenue, the community has two lakes, along with parks and walking paths. Garden Lakes has over 1,200 homes of various sizes. Crystal Gardens is a community located on 72 acres of wetlands. It’s north of I-10 near McDowell and 107th Avenue and includes 905 homes. This community has it all: lake views, walking paths, fishing, bird watching and bike lanes. GLENDALE Westgate is part of Central Glendale, near Glendale’s historic downtown. Made up of historic ranch-

Nonprofit helps keep seniors independent

By Benevilla

lder adults facing the challenges of aging may share an often-heard wish: “I want to stay in my own home.” The good news is with the right help you might be able to do that. The nonprofit Benevilla, which has served the West Valley for more than 40 years, knows what it takes to help you age in place. Simply put, its mission is to keep seniors independent in their homes as long as possible. The not-for-profit senior and family services agency was founded in 1981 by citizens of the Sun Cities area. They worried that local services were not readily available to the community’s older residents. Their mission was to promote health and independence by providing supportive services to their neighbors. Forty years ago, Benevilla was formed as Sun Cities Area Interfaith Services Inc. (IFS) and established as a nonprofit, nonsectarian agency by concerned citizens and the Ministerial Association.

The Westgate Entertainment District

Top-Notch Entertainment

The West Valley provides arena action, racing and shopping sprees

By Ron Sanzone

f West Valley residents ever experience boredom, it is not for a lack of entertainment options and venues in the area. Live music, live sports, theater, movie theaters and entertainment districts can all be found on the west side of town. As the West Valley grows, so does the entertainment scene. ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICTS The Westgate Entertainment District in Glendale offers shopping, Rendering of VAI Resort, which will feature the first Mattel Adventure Park in the country.

dining and fun for all ages. Its outdoor setting allows visitors to enjoy the area’s warm climate while they browse stores, stop by its splash pad or enjoy live music and entertainment during one of its seasonal events. There is plenty of fun to be had whether it is catching a movie at the AMC Westgate 20, laughing until it hurts at Stir Crazy Comedy Club, finding a way out of an escape room at Escape Westgate or trying one’s hand throwing axes at LumberjAxes Axe Throwing Bar. Music fans can catch

the hottest acts playing live at Desert Diamond Arena. Right down the street is State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, the Fiesta Bowl and, in certain years, the Super Bowl. With more than a dozen restaurants, the P83 Entertainment District makes sure that no one who wants to have fun needs to do so on an empty stomach. Visitors can catch a Spring Training game at the Peoria Sports Complex; go for a skate at AZ Ice Peoria; watch the latest blockbuster at Harkins Theatres Arrowhead Fountains 18; or unwind with friends, live music and a beverage of their choice at The Social on 83rd. P83 will soon welcome another fun business, Tavern Park. During the week, it will act as a Vegas-style sportsbook with one of Arizona’s largest LED walls. On the weekend, it will transform into a nightclub with an impressive light and audio package. More fun is on the way in late 2024 when VAI Resort opens in Glendale. Once complete, it will be the largest hotel and entertainment destination in Arizona. The $1 billion project will be home to an 8,000-capacity amphitheater, the country’s largest manmade party island (52,000 square
