A closer look at Gilbert.
Gilbert has grown from an agricultural town into a large East Valley community with established subdivisions, newer neighborhoods, an active Heritage District, and continued development toward its southern edge.
Residents can move between downtown dining, community parks, riparian trails, neighborhood amenities, shopping, and regional destinations. Exact location matters because Gilbert extends well beyond its historic center.
