Living in Goodyear
Goodyear sits in the southwest part of the greater Phoenix area, along Interstate 10 in Maricopa County, with the Estrella Mountains rising along its southern edge. The city takes its name from the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, which bought farmland here to grow cotton used in tire production. Those cotton fields have since given way to master-planned communities, a spring training ballpark and one of the largest regional parks in the county, but the agricultural history is still part of the city's identity.
CENTURY 21 Arizona Foothills helps clients buy, sell and relocate across Goodyear and the West Valley, with local knowledge of each part of the city.
What Is There to Do in Goodyear?
Spring Training at Goodyear Ballpark
Goodyear Ballpark is the Cactus League spring training home of the Cleveland Guardians and the Cincinnati Reds. Outside of spring training, the ballpark and its plaza host other events through the year.
Estrella Mountain Regional Park
Estrella Mountain Regional Park, owned and operated by Maricopa County, is the second largest park in the county park system, and much of it lies within Goodyear near the confluence of the Gila, Salt and Agua Fria rivers. Most of the park remains in its natural desert state, with miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding, plus a competitive mountain biking track. The developed recreation area includes an 18-hole golf course, playgrounds and picnic ramadas that can be reserved for gatherings.
What Is It Like to Live in Goodyear?
Much of Goodyear is organized into master-planned communities, each laid out with its own parks, trails and common areas. North of Interstate 10, neighborhoods sit closer to the freeway corridor and its shopping centers. South of the freeway, the city reaches toward the Estrella Mountains, where neighborhoods are framed by desert foothills and open space. That combination of planned neighborhoods and nearby mountain parkland gives Goodyear a distinctly outdoor setting within the West Valley.
Getting Around Goodyear
Interstate 10 runs east and west through Goodyear and is the city's main connection to Avondale, central Phoenix and the rest of the Valley. Local arterials connect the neighborhoods north and south of the freeway with shopping, Goodyear Ballpark and the trailheads of Estrella Mountain Regional Park.
Goodyear Real Estate
Goodyear's housing is largely found in master-planned communities, with a mix of established neighborhoods and newer construction. Estrella Mountain Ranch and PebbleCreek are two of the named master-planned communities in the city, each with its own layout of streets, parks and shared amenities. Homes across the city are mostly detached houses on suburban lots, with some golf-course and mountain-view settings.
