- Real-time drive through Gilbert Arizona. We start out in the shopping district of San Tan Village and end up most interesting neighborhoods in the Phoenix Metropolitan area.
This town is one of the most popular stops in the Phoenix Scottsdale Metro and many long-time residents say it feels like Scottsdale Arizona before it became so big. I love driving through this city and stop here often. It is wonderful to see what life in this area looks like.
I hope you enjoy it.

More On Gilbert Arizona - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert...
Gilbert is a town in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States, located southeast of Phoenix within the city's metropolitan area. Once known as the "Hay Shipping Capital of the World",[5] it is the sixth-largest municipality in Arizona and the fifth-largest in the Phoenix metro area. It covers an area of nearly 69 square miles (179 km2).
Gilbert has made a rapid transformation from an agriculture-based community to an economically diverse suburban center located in the southeast valley of the Greater Phoenix area. It has grown at an extremely high rate over the last three decades, increasing in population from 5,717 in 1980 to 208,453 as of the 2010 census. The town grew at an average annual rate of nearly 13% during this 30-year period. In 2019, the town's population was estimated to be 254,114.
History[edit]
Gilbert was established by William "Bobby" Gilbert, who provided land to the Arizona Eastern Railway in 1902 to construct a rail line between Phoenix and Florence, Arizona. Ayer's Grocery Store, the first store in Gilbert, opened in 1910 and became the location of the first post office in 1912. The location of the town post office moved several times before settling on the east side of Gilbert Road in downtown, where it still stands today. In 1912, many Mormons who had fled the Mormon colonies in Mexico due to the actions of the forces of Pancho Villa settled in Gilbert. By 1915, they began holding church meetings at the Gilbert Elementary School. In 1918, they were organized into the Gilbert Ward.[6]
Incorporated in July 1920, Gilbert was primarily a farming community fueled by the rail line and construction of the Roosevelt Dam and the Eastern and Consolidated Canals. It remained an agricultural town for many years and was known as the "Hay Capital of the World"[7] from 1911 until the late 1920s.
In 2019, the town featured highly on three national surveys, related to safety, livability and family life; it was named the fourth-safest (of 182 communities), twelfth-most livable town, and seventh-best place to raise a family in the United States.[8]

Thanks for the comment. Always appreciate it👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
In lockdown here in Sydney AGAIN unfortunately and we are still forbidden from leaving our own Country...that's politicians for ya! So a huge thank you for posting another video of the SE Valley. Maybe one day I will be able to visit again, who knows, anyway perhaps you could head up to Sedona and Cottonwood, just for old times sake? It is so very beautiful there. Cheers, Ant.
Ugh. I am so sorry to hear about that. You bet, we will get Sedona on the schedule. Monsoon has been crazy here, so probably after all the storms. Thanks for the kind words. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I wish I knew what area (cross streets) this neighborhood is in. We were literally just there a few days ago (the shopping center) from out of state and are considering moving to Gilbert. I would have loved to have visited this particular neighborhood.
Hi- This is called San Tan Village. Its a shopping district located on Williams Field Road and San Tan Parkway. Its great shopping and lots of fun. Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@DeweysWorld Sounds familiar! So that's also the name of that housing neighborhood? We were all over the place lol.
San Tan Village is the shopping area. The neighborhood shown after is called Agritopia.
Too expensive
So many people moving into the area for sure.
