Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce.
Founded in 1888, this western
most community of the
Valley of the Sun is home to over 20,000 people.
for the past 20 years, growth in the greater
Phoenix area has been robust in three of our
four quadrants of the region. With those areas
rapidly nearing build out, the last frontier
rests in the southwest valley and the Town of
Buckeye. Town planners project that it will
take at least 30 years for the nearly 600-mile
planning area that stretches from almost
Wickenburg to Gila Bend, the Hassayampa River to
Perryville Road, to be built out.
As Arizona’s biggest “small
town,” we still enjoy the great feeling of a
small community. Buckeye celebrates
Country fest in the fall, Pioneer Days in the
spring, and a great family Fourth of July.
Currently there are over
240,000 homes planned in Buckeye. Given the size
and number of the master planned developments
within the Town limits, the population will
explode to over 100,000 by the year 2010. Along
with homes, there are world-class retail,
entertainment, health care, education, and
employment uses planned. Buckeye is fortunate to
be intersected by five highways, home to a
general aviation airport, and served by the
railroad. Virtually every major mode of
transportation makes Buckeye accessible from
multiple points. In addition to this, the Town
of Buckeye sits on the state’s largest untapped
groundwater aquifer, the Hassayampa River Basin.
And the majestic view of the White Tank
Mountains from every vantage point creates a
unique and unparalleled landscape.
Being located just 35 miles
west of Phoenix makes it convenient for work,
sightseeing, and an exciting nightlife, yet far
enough away to retain a comfortable small town
feeling. Therefore, residents can take advantage
of the amenities found in a metropolitan city
and throughout its western suburbs, and then
return to the quiet comforts of home. This once
sleepy agricultural town is at the dawn of a new
era, and those residents who are proud to call
Buckeye home have found a great place to live,
work and discover the best that Arizona has to
offer.

under the age of 18, 9.8% from 18 to 24, 28.9% from 25
to 44, 19.3% from 45 to 64, and 8.2% who were 65 years

Based on the 2005 Maricopa County Census Survey
conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, the 2005 population
of Buckeye was estimated to be 25,406. Most recently,
Town officials have estimated the mid-2007 population at
42,000.
The original Buckeye
was built around downtown's main street, Monroe Avenue.
The first neighborhoods spread out from Monroe Avenue
along First through Tenth streets and other cross
streets.
In the mid-twentieth century, the Valencia neighborhood
was built just north of downtown, centering upon
Baseline Road and Fourth Street.
The biggest waves of development began in the early
twenty-first century, with the Town's first
master-planned community, Sundance. This neighborhood is
located in general vicinity of the intersection of Yuma
and Watson roads near Interstate 10. Sundance Towne
Center is located here and is the first of several large
shopping centers to be built in Buckeye.
Second came Verrado, a master-planned community located
along Verrado Way north of Interstate 10. This new
urbanist style development is highly regarded around the
Phoenix area and across the United States. Nearby is the
Buckeye Parkway Center retail development.
A few of the many other master-planned communities
currently under development are Tartesso, Sun Valley,
Sun City Festival, and Spurlock Ranch, all located along
the Sun Valley Parkway north of Interstate 10. The
community of WestPark is another growing development
northwest of downtown Buckeye, where WestPark Elementary
is located.
Many other smaller subdivisions are part of the Town of
Buckeye as well.
Due to the amount of land that the Town of Buckeye has
annexed or plans to annex (up to 600 square miles), the
population may increase to over that of the current
population of Phoenix itself. Buckeye is projected to
expand to over 380,000 residents by 2030, with some
projections giving the city some two million inhabitants
by 2050, which would make it the largest suburb in the
Phoenix Metropolitan Area and possibly the United
States, surpassing Mesa which, by that time, will have
been built out completely. Source Wikipedia
