Living in Laveen, Phoenix
Laveen is not a separate city. It is Laveen Village, one of the urban villages that make up the City of Phoenix, located in the southwestern part of the city between South Mountain and the Salt River. As part of Phoenix, Laveen is served by the City of Phoenix and shares a Phoenix address, while keeping its own village identity and planning area.
The setting is what defines Laveen. South Mountain rises on one side and the Salt River on the other, and the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway runs through the village, linking it with the rest of the metro. That combination of mountain access and freeway connection gives Laveen a distinct place within Phoenix.
