Gilbert is officially one of the Top 10 Happiest Cities in America. 🌵
WalletHub’s 2026 Happiest Cities in America rankings placed Gilbert at No. 9 in the country, with four Arizona cities making the Top 20:
🥉 Scottsdale — No. 3
🌵 Gilbert — No. 9
☀️ Chandler — No. 14
🎓 Tempe — No. 20
For those of us who live in the Valley, that probably isn't too surprising. And for anyone considering a move to the Phoenix area, it says a lot about what this part of the Valley has to offer.
Gilbert has a great combination of community, recreation and things to do. From the restaurants and local character of the Heritage District to SanTan Village and the 272-acre Gilbert Regional Park, there's plenty close to home. And just to the south, Queen Creek continues to add even more shopping, dining and entertainment options.
Then there’s Adora Trails, one of Gilbert’s master-planned communities, with more than 12 miles of walking and biking trails, parks, a fishing lake, resort-style pool and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the Arizona lifestyle.
And if Gilbert is somewhere you’re considering, I currently have an opportunity to live right here in Adora Trails.
🏡 2688 E Daniel Drive, Gilbert
This 3-bedroom home also includes a den, custom pool with a chiller and heater to keep the water comfortable in every season, an upgraded kitchen with Bosch appliances, EV charger and a premium lot with no neighbor behind or on one side and green space next door.
Whether you already live in the Valley and are considering a move to the East Valley, or you're thinking about relocating to Arizona, Gilbert, Adora Trails and this home are worth a closer look.
If you’d like more information about 2688 E Daniel Drive or would like to see the home in person, feel free to reach out for details and to schedule a private tour.
