Avondale is a fantastic city if you desire some peace. With a mix of farmland and sprawling neighborhoods, Avondale has provided me a safe place to live. There are also seasonal events that are a blast to go to! Such as the city fair or Nascar season when it takes place at Phoenix International Raceway (yes, the name says Phoenix, but it is technically within Avondale's boundaries.
I have been living in Avondale since 2001 and I have seen this city grow and expand. I graduated from Westview Highschool, and went to Estrella mountain Community College which are both located in Avondale. The city is clean and is always growing with both small and big businesses. I do recommend my friends and family to move here if they plan to buy a house in the future. Recently there has been new housing development growing and I purchased a new home here in Avondale. At the same time me and my wife had our first baby girl, so I plan to raise my family here in the following years. I am very happy here.
Avondale has plenty of fun places and events to offer. Friendship Park offers friends, families, and pets an exciting experience with its jungle-like playgrounds, vast fields, and grand gazebos. The Phoenix International Raceway is also located in Avondale, which is known to host events like NASCAR's annual race weekends. The Arizona Science Centre in Avondale also houses an interesting array of scientific exhibits that encompasses all age groups. Overall, Avondale hosts multiple fun experiences for the whole family and their friends.
