As the third largest city in the Grand Canyon State and one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the nation, Mesa has much to offer home owners year-around. With nearly 350 days of sunshine each year and located just minutes east of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Mesa is a popular relocation destination. Over 350,000 residents now populate the city which once was home to ancient Indian Tribes and early American settlers.

Until 1960 more than 50 percent of the residents earned their living directly or indirectly from farming, mainly citrus and cotton. The 1960’s through 1990’s saw more high-technology companies, now over 100 firms. Health facilities grew especially during the 1980’s and 1990’s to service the larger population. Mid 1990’s figures show Mesa employment percentages as retail – 31.2%, office – 25.7%, public – 16.1%, industrial – 14%, other – 11.6%, residential –1.4%.  From single family homes to luxury estates, Mesa Realtor Gary Peruzzini can help you find your perfect piece of real estate in Arizona.
