Have you ever wondered how many people are coming, or leaving your state on a yearly basis? I just read this information in an article, and discovered that Arizona was ranked number 5 overall from 2007-2008, with a net gain of 20,300 households. Where did most of these people come from? They came from California and Michigan according to the data.

Moving to Arizona TruckThe top 5 states people migrated to were Texas (62,827), North Carolina (40,995), Georgia (37,559), South Carolina (20,482), and Arizona (20,300). North Carolina, Georgia, and South Carolina all had the most people migrating from New York and Florida.

The top 5 states people migrated out of were Michigan (-37,370), New York (-28,376), Ohio (-20,575), California (-19,680), and New Jersey (-19,285). Where did most of these people migrate to? The article showed that in all the states except California, people migrated to Florida. Michigan, Ohio, and California also had most people migrating to Texas, which makes perfect sense when you look at the influx of families that migrated to Texas.

You can compare this to my recent post regarding overall population growth state by state.

This post isn't about buying or selling a home...but it could save your home along with someone you love. If you have a child of "cooking" age...please make sure they see this video.

Most people's response to any fire is to throw water on the flame. Children are especially prone to this response.

Check out this video to see why that's the worst thing you can do with any grease fire. Share it with someone you love...or even someone you don't.

Pecos Ranch Lake Community in Chandler Az

This Chandler lake community offers just about everything that a family could want. It is just south of the 202 freeway, with approximately 120 waterfront residential homes. Mature landscaping including tall pine trees, lakes, a community pool and tennis courts, and a nearby city park all make Pecos Ranch an attractive environment for families.

Chandler's Pecos Ranch is in the Chandler School District where students attend Ann Marie Jacobsen elementary school. Bogle Jr. High, and Hamilton High School. Access to the freeway is super close, with the 202 freeway entrance just around the corner, making the commute to the greater Phoenix metro area very reasonable. Pecos Ranch is less than three miles from the Chandler Fashion Mall, and less than 4 miles away from Intel and other semi-conductor companies.

Pecos Ranch offers lakes, a park, community pool and tennis courts

Pecos Ranch residents also enjoy a community pool and tennis courts. Very few lake communities in Chandler, Gilbert or the Phoenix area offer a community pool and tennis courts. Some exceptions do exist such The Springs, Val Vista Lakes, and The Islands.

As you drive around Pecos Ranch, you'll notice that not all waterfront space has been developed for housing. The lakes are visible as you drive along Gunstop Loop or Pennington Drive. Therefore, you don't need to own a house on the lake to enjoy the feeling and atmosphere of a lake community. You'll also notice that many residents take advantage of the opportunity to use the lakes with electric motor boats and canoes.

Other amenities and recreation include the Pecos Ranch Park on Maple Street, a City of Chandler maintained park adjacent to the subdivision.

Pecos Ranch Homes for Sale

If you have an interest in Chandler waterfront homes for sale or Phoenix lake communities please don't hesitate to call me.

Chandler also has the Loop 101, or Price Freeway (in Chandler), that runs North and South, and connects several suburbs of Phoenix, including Tolleson, Glendale, Peoria, Scottsdale, Mesa, and Tempe to Chandler. The Price Freeway section of the 101 also ends at the Price Corridor, where Chandler houses many high-tech industries to include Intel, Microchip, and Orbital Sciences. Construction on the Loop 101 began in the late-1980s and was completed in 2001. The loop 101 now connects with the Loop 202.
