The heart of the Valley, spread across 500 square miles

As Arizona’s capital and the anchor of the entire metro area, Phoenix spans more than 500 square miles, stretching between the East and West Valley suburbs. Rather than one uniform layout, the city is formally split into 15 Urban Villages, from Camelback East and Encanto to Deer Valley, Maryvale, and Laveen, each with its own planning committee shaping local development.

Phoenix also runs one of the largest municipal park systems in the country. The Phoenix Mountain Preserve protects major desert peaks right inside the city grid, including Camelback Mountain’s Echo Canyon and Cholla trails, Piestewa Peak, and the 16,000-plus-acre South Mountain Park & Preserve.

Because the city grew through decades of annexation, public education runs through a patchwork of districts. Central Phoenix high schoolers largely attend Phoenix Union High School District, one of the largest secondary-only districts in the nation, while outer areas fall under Paradise Valley Unified, Deer Valley Unified, or Dysart Unified. Downtown remains the region’s cultural and civic core, home to the Roosevelt Row Arts District, Footprint Center, and Chase Field, all connected by the Valley Metro Light Rail.
