Living in Litchfield Park, Arizona

Litchfield Park is a small city in the West Valley, west of Phoenix, with a history unlike any of its neighbors. It takes its name from Paul W. Litchfield, an executive of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, who came to the Phoenix area to establish cotton farming for the company. The settlement that grew up around those Goodyear farms became Litchfield Park, and its original village design still shapes the city's center.

The city is, by design, oriented around residential neighborhoods that surround its village center, The Wigwam resort and the resort's golf courses. That layout, with homes, greenery and the resort woven together, is what sets Litchfield Park apart in a part of the Valley where most development is far newer.

What Is There to Do in Litchfield Park?

The Wigwam

The Wigwam began as a Goodyear company retreat before opening to the public as a resort, and it remains the centerpiece of Litchfield Park. Its golf courses, grounds and restaurants sit in the middle of the city, so the resort functions as both a destination for visitors and a landmark for the neighborhoods around it.

Wildlife World Zoo and Aquarium

Wildlife World Zoo and Aquarium, at 16501 W Northern Ave in Litchfield Park, combines a zoo and an aquarium in one park on the city's northern side and is open every day of the year.

Litchfield Park Gathering

Each winter, the Litchfield Park Gathering brings a Native American fine arts festival to Litchfield Square Park, near Wigwam Boulevard and Old Litchfield Road. The festival is free and open to the public and showcases Indigenous art and culture over a weekend in the heart of the city.

What Is It Like to Live in Litchfield Park?

Life in Litchfield Park revolves around its village center and the resort grounds at its core. The neighborhoods closest to the original townsite grew up around the Goodyear-era village, and homes, parks and resort land sit side by side, which gives the city an established look that differs from the newer communities nearby.

Because the city is small and surrounded by neighboring West Valley communities, many larger shopping and service centers are a short drive away in Goodyear and Avondale. To see what homes are available in this setting, browse Litchfield Park homes for sale.
