Tolleson Arizona is a great town! It may be mostly of Mexican/Hispanic culture, but it has a wonderful mix of all races. The Tolleson High School still has the original foundation from 1927! When Tolleson residents are walking down the street of Van Buren, the beautiful lights bright up the entire walkway. It has all types of restaurants , such as seafood, Mexican, burgers, pizza, and more! There is also entertainment for the children with a tiny splash pad. The experience at Tolleson Arizona is rated excellent in all categories for everyone feels welcomed and plenty to do for all ages!
Used to have a small town feel. People are changing but the local government system is still filling their pockets. It's been a few years Tolleson was designated a slum. There has not been a change to fix the issue. Only a bandaid project. The main street was cleaned up and redesign but the inside remains infected.
The police department is lazy and from personal experience very incompetent. This I believe is covered up by the image they care about students. In reality it is their job to be on campus and should they want to help in another then great!
I did the the experience to attend and work for the Tolleson school districts. This may be the reason I choose to improve myself to aid in the rehabilitation of my home town. Grow, learn, work and live is here. There are a handful of residents who feel the same; and it is with great hope to redirect our focus for a positive future of Tolleson. To keep it sustainable for new and old families with that old town feel we all love. Thank you.

There's good people around and a lot to do nearby. Good dining and shopping options, decent library. I love how around one corner there's just fields, and around another is everything you could need. However, I got my car stolen right out of my driveway and it was never found. My neighbor witnessed someone trying to tow away their car in broad daylight also. Gunshots can be heard occasionally, and once in the middle of the night there were helicopters and police shouting through megaphones for the person inside a house to come out. A landscaper also tried to pick up my teenage sister.
