For those who like to be at the heart of the action, urban Arizona homes are ideal. Each of Arizona's towns offers fantastic annual festivals, with everything from native art exhibitions to ostrich racing, plus there are great dining, concerts and social events all year round.

Dog shows, family reunions, small arts and crafts fairs, all seem to find the Tempe Women's Club Park the ideal place to set up during the spring and summer months. A smaller shade park in north Tempe, the park always seems to be busy with one thing or another, and is usually open to the public.
