We recommend reviewing the HOA documents for any property you are considering to understand the rules and obligations involved.
What school districts serve Gilbert, Arizona?

Because boundaries can change and vary block by block, families should confirm the assigned schools for a specific address before making a decision.

Gilbert is well connected by the Loop 202 and US-60, which make getting around the East Valley and into central Phoenix fairly convenient. Most residents can expect about a 25 to 30 minute drive to Sky Harbor International Airport, depending on traffic and the part of town they live in.

Gilbert enjoys more than 300 sunny days a year, with summer highs often climbing above 100 degrees from June through September and mild winters in the 60s and 70s.

I am relocating to Gilbert from out of state, what should I know about the moving process?
If you are moving from out of state, it helps to start with virtual tours so you can narrow down neighborhoods before you arrive. Many out-of-state buyers also try to visit during both summer and winter, since the weather can feel very different between the two seasons. Urban House Realty can assist with remote buying, helping you evaluate homes and neighborhoods even before you set foot in Arizona.
