History
San Tan Valley didn't exist as a named community until the 2000s, when rapid development in unincorporated Pinal County required a designation for the growing population.
The 2010 census counted 81,000 residents, making San Tan Valley one of the largest census-designated places in Arizona.
Unlike neighboring Gilbert and Queen Creek, San Tan Valley remains unincorporated, served by Pinal County government rather than a city administration.
Life in San Tan Valley
San Tan Valley's culture is still forming as population explodes. Master-planned communities create their own identities with pools, parks, and HOA events. The population skews young, with families drawn by affordability. Limited commercial development means residents often travel to Queen Creek, Gilbert, or Chandler for shopping and entertainment. The unincorporated status creates different governance than neighboring cities.
Buyer Profile
First-time buyers priced out of Gilbert and Queen Creek dominate the market. Young families from California discover they can afford significant homes. Remote workers appreciate space and mountain views. Investors purchase new construction for rental to the growing workforce.
