Peoria, Arizona is the state's sixth-largest city, with a population of around 185,000 people. It is situated in Maricopa County, northwest of the Phoenix metropolitan region.

The economy of Peoria is mainly based on agricultural and manufacturing, but it also boasts a thriving tourism industry. The city is home to many natural monuments, including the Coldwater Mountains and Lake Pleasant, and hosts several annual events.

Peoria's proximity to Phoenix makes it appealing to families who wish to live close to major city facilities while yet having much to do outside their own home.

Lake Pleasant Regional Park, located in Peoria, is a true oasis in the desert. The 23,000-acre park contains two marinas and is a popular destination for boating, fishing, water skiing, kayaking, camping, and even scuba diving!

Because to cheap property taxes and utility expenses (electricity costs roughly $100 less per month than in other parts of the state), the cost of living in Peoria is lower than in other regions of the state. There are also numerous lovely parks and leisure places where individuals can spend their free time outdoors without having to worry about traffic jams or high pollution levels during peak traffic hours, as they would if they lived closer to downtown Phoenix or the Tempe/Mesa area instead!
