Apache Junction Reviews
Rating 3.79 out of 5 57 reviews
Nestled in Apache Junction, the star attraction is its majestic mountain views, enhanced by vibrant springtime trails adorned with yellow, purple flowers, and distinctive cactus blooms. Stores and shops conveniently cluster around the mountains, while the Multi-Generational Center stands as a hub for diverse sports and exercise classes. Nearby, a serene library complements the experience. The landscape invites exploration, though scorching summers and dusty terrain pose challenges. Some areas lack upkeep, a reminder of necessary efforts. In essence, Apache Junction harmonizes nature's beauty with modern amenities, offering an escape into breathtaking landscapes, a testament to desert charm and resilience.
Hot dusty cowboy town in the summer months, then it wake's up in the fall-spring with snow bird's whom over populate this under developed town. They are great for the local economy but it's kinda irritating for local residents because the population doubles. Restaurants are 50 yrs old and only a Popeyes has been built in the last 10 years. Infrastructure is non existent due to the highway's designed for 1970s traffic. Fire department and AJPD get 5 stars. Enjoy your stay!?!?!?
I would like to see more affordable housing available for senior citizens and low income families. There are not enough resources for the homeless community and absolutely no kind of housing for the homeless. AJ has no shelter or safe parking areas for the homeless and vulnerable community.
