Avondale straddles Interstate 10 in the West Valley, and its geography is shaped by rivers. The Agua Fria River runs through the city, with a paved multi-use path that begins beneath the I-10 overpass, and to the south the road toward Phoenix Raceway crosses the Gila River before reaching the track. Avondale homes for sale north of the freeway include established subdivisions close to shopping corridors, while the southern part of the city holds newer neighborhoods and homes nearer the river and the raceway. Read the Avondale community guide for more about the city.
