Pomona Plan in Estates at Laveen Vistas by Richmond American Homes
Laveen, AZ 85339

"it's a mix of older homes, with subdivisions being built. Most people keep to themselves and there aren't many children young enough to go trick or treating. Most people take excellent care of there dogs, occasionally one slips out of the fenced yard. Owner is normally out searching as soon as they realize it's out."

"Tons of families, events, school choices, annual events like town BBQ, Xmas stuff, farmers markets, town dairy and great people. "

"great access to freeways and downtown. new 202 freeway is just outside the neighborhood. it provides quick access to much of the valley "

"I use public transportation. It’s not very good. It IS better than nothing. Sometimes I drive. The drive is GREAT now that the 202 is open!!!!!"

"This neighborhood is developing nicely. We are getting more shopping renters and easy access to major roadways like route 202. "

"You would have to be insane to pay over $230k for ANYTHING in Laveen (47 mile area in South Phoenix) without massive acreage in this area. First, this was known gang territory for decades. There was an attempt to develop this area pre-crash, however, once the crash happened virtually all homes down here were turned into Section 8 or other low-cost rentals. Investors and realtors are driving up the costs down here (driven by California population influx) and it's not sustainable. Wages in Phx are not keeping pace at all. Moreover, the criminal element has never left. Pull crime stats report from Phoenix Police. Many areas originally slotted for re-development haven't been touched and are just drowning in crime and drugs adjacent to the newer communities. Sadly, I am seeing a lot of people who recently purchased down here with for sale signs in their yards less than a yr after purchasing down here. Laveen schools are some of the worst for Arizona. Laveen continues to be a dangerous place; the crime simply persists down here and this area is ripe for a housing market correction. Save yourself...look in Goodyear/Litchfield for the West Valley, Anthem for Phoenix proper, or Gilbert/Mesa East Valley for comparable pricing but much safer places for you and/or your family. "
