Area Information

Mesa is a city in Maricopa County, Arizona. Fifteen miles east of Phoenix, in the Valley of the Sun, Mesa combines the best of modern and ancient culture.

Mesa features a number of distinct neighborhoods. The downtown area is a hub for art lovers and boasts hundreds of unique shops and restaurants. There are museums, galleries, more than 200 street sculptures, and the seven-acre Mesa Arts Center, which includes theaters, exhibition space, visual and performing arts studios, and outdoor space. As a 'culinary gateway' to Greater Phoenix, Mesa also showcases local flavor, with independent restaurants and craft breweries offering creations born on local farms. This area also is wrapped in the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert, so those renting in Mesa can explore endless canyon and desert landscapes in a variety of ways, including on horseback or by kayaking and hiking. Despite being the third-largest city in Arizona, Mesa maintains a suburban feel, with parks in easy walking distance and a range of sports facilities and golf courses.

Commuters in Mesa use U.S. Route 60, which runs from Apache Junction to Phoenix, as well as State Route 87 and bypass loops 101 and 202. Valley Metro's light rail service will soon tie Mesa to Phoenix and Tempe, which sits to the west. Long-distance travelers use Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport, which is about 12 miles away from downtown Mesa, and the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, which is about 17 miles away.
