East Valley

US-60 / Loop 202

The East Valley is the population engine of Greater Phoenix, anchored by Mesa (the state's third-largest city), Chandler's tech corridor, Gilbert's acclaimed dining scene, and Tempe's university-town energy surrounding Arizona State University. The Superstition Freeway (US-60), Loop 202, and Loop 101 weave through the region, and Valley Metro Rail connects Tempe and Mesa to downtown Phoenix. From ASU's Innovation Quarter to Chandler's Intel campus, the East Valley blends established suburban neighborhoods with a rapidly expanding employment base.
