The Town of Queen Creek strives to honor our past, manage our present and embrace our future to create a quality, unique place for families and businesses. Queen Creek is one of the best-kept secrets in Arizona. Exceptional climate (with 330 days of sunshine annually), natural recreational riches and a relaxed, rural lifestyle combine to fulfill the dreams and visions of those who relocate to one of America's best small towns. Queen Creek's approximately 26,000 residents enjoy the benefits of small-town living close to a metropolitan area: low crime rates, easy commuting to and from metro Phoenix, excellent air quality and a variety of recreational activities, all elements of a low-stress lifestyle. Queen Creek is a family place, where the residents take pride in independence. It's a first name"_ community, where a person behind the counter isn't an uncaring stranger, but someone who will know you by name. In 2015, the Phoenix Business Journal named the Town of Queen Creek as one of the Best Places to Work for mid-size companies. It was the only government entity named to the list."
