Apache Junction is located on the Eastern edge of Maricopa County, mostly in Pinal County. An outgrowth of the town of Goldfield with it's mine and a stopping off place for prospectors seeking the legendary Lost Dutchman Mine; Apache Junction was incorporated in 1978, after nearly a century of existence. Noted over the last couple decades as a snowbird (winter resident) capital, it has moved to a town of about 35,000 full time residents. Still a town of filled trailer parks in the winter, baby-boomer snowbirds and permanent residents have fostered condominium growth and gradually condos are replacing the trailer parks. There are seven golf courses in Apache Junction and twelve more within ten miles. There is a solid school system and numerous family friendly attractions available to Apache Junction condo owners.
A wave of development in recent years has brought in new major retailers such as Safeway and Wal-mart. But some of the old charm remains in places like Patterns of the Past, an antique mall at the junction of the Apache Trail and Old West Highway.
Your Apache Junction condominium will have plenty of elbowroom; development has left large swaths of beautiful Sonoran desert in tact, just outside your condos window. Outside of the hustle of Downtown Phoenix, but on forty minutes drive away on the Superstition freeway, AJ, as the residents call it, is the epitome of the laid back Southwestern style. There is nothing in AJ that HAS to be done today.
Apache Junction sits at the end of the legendary Apache Trail at the foot of the beautiful Superstition Mountains with its restored Goldfield ghost town and miles of hiking tails. It is the gateway to the lakes on the Salt River, Roosevelt and Saguaro with endless year round water sports.
Apache Junction real estate offers a relaxed lifestyle with the feel of the old Southwest in the convenience of a modern condominium. Let CondoCompany.com be your guide in the land of mañana, to help you find the condo hacienda of your dreams. |
