In most peoples opinions the best thing about Gilbert Arizona is the cities encouragement of hug throw-down block parties. Yeah that’s right. As most of the country recoils in fear from the unknown milieu that can develop when you throw a bunch of strangers together and ask them to have good time, Gilbert embraces it.

Just look at this plea from their website:

Block Parties are an excellent way for neighbors to get to know each other. A Block Party can be anything from a neighborhood ice cream social to a large street side event for an entire subdivision. Any neighborhood can apply to have a Block Party in their neighborhood and are asked to complete a special Block Party Application form, which can be accessed through Community Development. Through these forms, your neighborhood can request barricades to be delivered should you need to close a street for a street side neighborhood event. They are also used to notify the police and fire departments of your neighborhoods event in case of am emergency or to inquire about their participation.

Well, I have never been to one of these parties, but you can only imagine that they would be amazing. People dancing, talking about their mortgages and their kids, and so many pregnant mothers…wow life is a gift isn’t it?

So if you think that a strong community is the best place for real estate investment you couldn’t do any better than Gilbert Arizona.
