As the nation's fifth largest city, Phoenix offers the kind of rich diversity of cultural venues you would expect in such a metropolitan area, including the symphony, live theater, renowned museums and some of the finest art galleries in the west. The Phoenix area is also home to representatives from the four major professional sports--baseball, basketball, football and hockey. And the Phoenix metro area is host to high profile events in golf, tennis, auto racing and more.
If you want to really get your heart pumping, you'll be glad to know that there are abundant recreational opportunities such as hiking, cycling, golfing, mountain biking and much more!
Though Phoenix is one of the country's largest cities, it manages to maintain a small town spirit. You'll see this in our close-knit neighborhoods, our excellent schools and our more-than-reasonable cost of living.
The Phoenix economy is strong and vibrant and our continued growth with a population approaching 1.6 million. The Greater Phoenix area is projected to reach 3.5 million in population by 2005. With the area's continued population growth, new trade opportunities, non-stop transatlantic flights and a sustained bright economic outlook, Phoenix's status as a transportation, distribution, and high-tech manufacturing hub is already becoming more vital to the Southwest, the nation and the world.
