So why did we choose Goodyear when we came back to AZ?
We searched the entire valley. Literally. From Carefree, to Gilbert. Vistancia to Verrado. When we left the Valley of the Sun in 1984 Goodyear was basically farming and a regional park on Buckeye road (which by the way was the main road to Cali at the time!) The 1-10 east of the Gila Bend turn off didn't even exist! (no 101,202,303,51, etc) After quite a few trips over to find our new home we didn't have any real success. Of course it was July of '05 and prices were stupid high. Finally on one of our unsuccessful trips as we headed back to So Cal we found "Estrella Mountain Ranch!" First Dennis didn't think we should live that far removed from everything........."We can't bring the kids this far out".......
but
when we got to the top of the hill, saw Lakes and Lawns! Trees and hills! Blues and Greens! What was NOT to love. (I think I heard harps playing in my head) We sat across the lake at the home finding center at sunset. As the sun lowered itself over the surrounding purple hills, the sky lit up with oranges, pinks and blues reflecting over the lake........then faded to various shades from light blue to dark blue and STARS began popping out everywhere. From across the lake we could see Starpointe, the Residence Center lighting up and looking like a 5 Star Resort.
Done, decision made, this was to be our new home! It has almost been 3 years for us now. I am so happy to be back in my home state. I fell in love with our community of Estrella and our town of Goodyear so much I got my Real Estate License! Now I can share this lifestyle with others and help make their dreams come true as well!
