Self Storage – West Phoenix

Rapid Development, Growth and Serious Potential Puts West Phoenix on the Radar

West Phoenix is composed of desert communities sandwiched between the Interstate 10 and the Gila River wilderness. With competitively priced property and plenty of room to stretch out, most people in the area own their homes and enjoy ample space. The region has seen swift growth over the past few years with new developments popping up, expanding employment opportunities and new attractions to lure people from across the Valley and elsewhere.

Employment is a prominent draw for people moving to West Phoenix. Bigger names like Amazon, UPS, Nike and Microsoft have all chosen West Phoenix as a home for their facilities, which each employ hundreds. Land is still relatively affordable in West Phoenix, making it the ideal location for your entrepreneurial endeavors.

People also adore West Phoenix’s outdoor scenery and recreation. With mountains, sprawling desert and, not one, but three rivers, there’s plenty for an outdoor enthusiast of any bent to see and do. Moreover, natural preserves provide space for desert life to flourish.

At one time very rural, West Phoenix’s communities are quickly gaining traction among businesses, developers and people moving to Arizona for lower cost of living and less congestion. Yet, this area still retains much of its individuality and desert charm. West Phoenix is conveniently reached by the I-10 and the Loop 202 – a straight shot to downtown Phoenix and other urban centers. Moreover, the Loop 303 adds another layer of access to this rapidly growing part of the state.

What to Do in West Phoenix, Arizona

There is no shortage of activity to fill 365 days per year. Start with the area’s abundant natural wonders, as many people who call this area home are proud of the desert scenery. The Estrella Mountain Regional Park offers more than 20,000 acres of pristine wilderness. It’s a hiker and mountain biker’s paradise, with trails stretching across 33 miles. If you’re looking for a shorter hike, start with the 2.4-mile-long Baseline Trail. The Pederson Trail is a longer, day hike covering 8.7 miles. Remember to take plenty of water with you!

South of Tolleson is the Tres Rios (Three Rivers) Wetlands, an impressive restoration project and wildlife haven. Phoenicians enjoy exploring the pathways and birding. The Tres Rios is also home to many native species, including herons, muskrats, skunks, bobcats and beavers. It offers an opportunity for the whole family to learn about hardy Arizonan ecosystems.

One of West Phoenix’s most well-known destinations is the Goodyear Ballpark. This 10,000-seat stadium is the spring training home to the Cleveland Indians and the Cincinnati Reds, and it also hosts several family-friendly events throughout the year – including the City of Goodyear’s Star Spangled 4th, the Fall Festival and Home Plate for the Holidays.

There’s also the Phoenix Raceway, a car racing track in the shadow of the Estrella Mountain Range. Built in 1964, the raceway has become a community landmark, hosting two NASCAR race weekends annually. It underwent a serious renovation in 2018, expanding the seating capacity and technology upgrades. It even has a connection to Hollywood – a scene in the Tom Cruise movie Days of Thunder featured the raceway. An insider tip: hike up Monument Hill (behind the raceway) for an unobstructed view of the racetrack and for a bit of Arizona history – it once marked the boundary between the United States and Mexico.

Catch a ballgame at Goodyear Stadium. Cheer on your favorite NASCAR drivers. Explore the great outdoors – the list goes on! The fact of the matter is, West Phoenix is a growing and exciting place in Arizona to call home. Storage West is here to make it even better.
