Mesa, a Phoenix suburb, holds the distinction of being one of the fastest-growing cities in Arizona and the United States. In 2006, the population of the city was set at 460,155, making it Arizona’s third-largest city, behind only Phoenix and Tucson. Residents of Mesa are drawn to the city’s prime location just east of downtown Phoenix, plenty of local shopping and entertainment options, and the diverse community that calls it home.

From huge desert estates that sell in the multi-millions to more modest single-family homes that list in the mid-$200,000 price range, Mesa is a residential “bedroom community” that has something for every house hunter. Architectural styles in Mesa run the gamut, from traditional Southwest properties to modern and desert ranch designs. There are also ample townhomes and apartments available on the Mesa real estate market.
