Located in one of the fastest growing areas in the Valley, the cities of Avondale, Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Tolleson have under gone a makeover in recent years. Gone, for the most part, are the cotton fields that once were the economic backbone of the area. In their place new residential communities dot the landscape. Businesses, both large and small, have found the potential of the area exciting and are moving to the Southwest Valley in a steady stream. Department stores, shopping centers, fast food and sit down restaurants, auto dealerships, membership merchandising giants, home improvement emporiums, new hospitals, light industry and many others are tapping into a substantial pool of qualified employees while bringing new jobs to the area.
Recreation is a big part of Southwest Valley’s package. County parks such as Estrella Mountain Regional Park and nearby White Tank Regional Park offer hiking, biking and equestrian trails picnic areas and other outdoor activities. Phoenix International Raceway draws thousands to its NASCAR events and Wildlife World Zoo has the largest collection of exotic animals in the State.
