Some of the cities here are the most upscale in the entire metro. And, many of the homes for sale in the West Valley are brand new. This side of the metro was actually developed after the east side (which is appropriately named East Valley). Parts of the West Valley -- like Surprise, for example -- didn't experience a home construction surge until the 1990's or even later. So, if you're looking for a home that has all of the newest features, you're much more likely to find it in the West Valley.
