If everything goes as planned, the residents of Queen Creek could be preparing and shipping their holiday packages from inside a new and spacious post office.
The land was deeded to the postal service by the Town of Queen Creek and construction in now well on its way towards completion of the new 26,000 square-foot post office, located just south of Ocotillo Road on the west side of Ellsworth Loop Road in Queen Creek and is expected to be complete by the end of the year.
Thanks to recent growth in the town and surrounding unincorporated areas, Queen Creek’s small post office has more than three times the customers today than it did five years ago. It served 10,000 mail delivery locations in October 2003 compared with 31,000 today. Queen Creek’s post office employs about 80 people.
The current post office is small and the town has out grown it. There is the same number of customer service windows as most other post offices, but the waiting area is cramped. A line that stretches longer than a few people often forces customers out the door. The parking lot is also very tight. There is no drive-thru lane for mailing letters, and it doesn't have a separate retail area for items such as stamps and shipping supplies. It's also too small to hold the mail and the town's carriers.
The new facility will keep both its workers and customers more comfortable and will operate a lot ore efficiently than the existing set up. There will be a drive-thru lane for customers can drop off their mail with out getting out of their cars and the space inside will have room for patrons to prepare their packages in comfort.

Will Rogers Equestrian Ranch in Queen Creek AZ is a beautifully designed Equestrian / Horse Community located on the West side of the town of Queen Creek, AZ 85142.
The neighborhood was designed with a certain lifestyle in mind while retaining that old western charm of the past. The original goal when designing Will Rogers Equestrian Ranch was to minimize the time, workload, and expense involved in keeping up acre plus properties and maximize the enjoyment of equestrian living with other like minded people in a custom home environment. This goal was accomplished in this planned development of 125 custom homes with most of the lots being under 1/4 of an acre in size, and then positioning a 10-acre professional equestrian center with in the community itself for the home owners to have access to.
Queen Creek was strategically selected for Will Rogers Equestrian Ranch for several reasons. First, Queen Creek although a growing town is a relatively small in comparison to some of its neighboring towns and cities in the Phoenix metro area with about 22,000 residents and lots of horses! Second, the ranch abuts the Queen Creek Wash, which is a designated horse trail. This wash is naturally landscaped with mature cottonwood trees, tamarisk trees, and other high desert (no cactus) type vegetation. The wash floor is clean and sandy providing miles of safe riding during the day or evening for riders of all ages and skill.
The Equestrian Center is manned by a professional trainer/manager who oversees the center and is the coordinator for anything pertaining to the equestrian center, such as feeding the horses, cleaning of the stalls, veterinarian and farrier services, and events throughout the year. This means you can have your farrier shoe your horses while you're at work or away on a business trip. It also means your horses are in the care of a professional while you're away on vacation! The community also features a Barn style rec. center for get together plus basket ball court and community pool to cool off in after a hard days ridding.

Sheryl Robinson is a terrific person to work with. She assisted me and my 2 little girls sell our starter home and relocate to a larger home in a newer neighborhood. She understood exactly what I was trying to accomplish. She knows the market well and works to get the best price for a buyer or a seller. She went above and beyond the normal Realtor duties and even assisted with home improvement planning, handyman arrangements, home warranties and lots and lots of follow up. Every question or email was answered within 24 hours of presentation. No matter what our circumstances, questions or concerns she always made me feel like I was her only client and all her efforts were focused on me. Being a single parent and constantly working extra shifts is hard enough without the added burden of trying to move. Her skills and knowledge took a lot of the hassles of buying and selling off me. She did all the legwork.
Sheryl, we really appreciated all of your time and attention to our entire family and all your help getting us through these trying months. We'll gladly recommend you to EVERYONE we run across looking for realty services. You are the best.

Sheryl, thank you for your excellent REALTOR services. Your professionalism combined with enthusiasm and motivation helped sell our Queen Creek home quickly. You consistently communicated with us and your follow-up was excellent. I realize it is rare to list a home, find a buyer, and close in 11 days, but you did it!
The photos and virtual tour you created really sold our home. Thank you again, and be assured I will refer people to you without any hesitation.
Susan Shifman, Chandler, AZ
