Finding safe neighborhoods is one of the most crucial steps in picking the best home for you or your family. If you’re looking to sell your AZ home and move to the West Valley, make sure to do plenty of research before choosing a potentially dangerous neighborhood. Working with a well-informed realtor who knows the area could save you the time and trouble of moving to the wrong street and find you the best neighborhoods in Phoenix. To discover a great neighborhood, you’ll need to examine the neighborhood crime stats, the property conditions, and the type of surveillance available to the residents. Here are the top 5 safest neighborhoods in the West Valley that you should check out if you’re in the market for a new house.
When it comes to safe neighborhoods, the first suburb you should consider is W. Williams Dr. and W. Wagon Wheel Dr. in Sun City West, AZ. In fact, Sun City West ranks the highest in safety among all the other West Valley suburbs. This is because the locals of Sun City West actively participate in Neighborhood Watch meetings and Home Security Audit programs to ensure safe neighborhoods throughout the city. Plus their parks and recreational complexes are constantly being renovated to improve the quality of life and leisure time, making certain that the property conditions of their neighborhoods stay clean and well kept.

If you’re looking to buy in Phoenix AZ, Buckeye also ranks highly in the West Valley – particularly the neighborhoods located on Bosque and Estrella. One of the main draws of the suburb of Buckeye is that is has very few violent and property crimes, making it a great neighborhood for families and singles all the same. This is also reflected by the highly rated Odyssey Preparatory Academy Inc. and the Buckeye Union High School District. Having a multitude of well-regarded school districts and positive neighborhood crime stats helps make the condition of the surrounding properties better for residents as well. Not to mention that the city of Buckeye deeply cares about encouraging crime preventative methods for all of their residents to maintain safe and pleasant neighborhoods.
Another secure and forward thinking neighborhood in the West Valley is Morristown, Surprise, AZ. Not only does this suburb have renowned public charter schools such as Paradise Education Center and Arizona Charter Academy, but it also has incredibly low violent crime rates. Surprise’s average crime rates are actually 47% lower than Arizona, according to AreaVibes. The property conditions in this city are superb, due to the renovation like the Pavement Preservation Project, which aims to benefit the pedestrians, drivers, and cyclists by reconstructing their roadways. Surprise also takes great care in providing neighborhood watch programs to improve the safety and quality of their resident’s living.
Although it may be one of the smaller safe neighborhoods in the West Valley, Litchfield Park AZ is a wonderful area to move to if you are looking for security and great public schools. The neighborhoods along W. San Miguel Ave. and N. Dysart Rd. are known for their A-rated schools in the Litchfield Elementary School District and the Agua Fria Union High School District that offer high school and college preparatory courses. The city of Litchfield is also happy to provide a Block Watch program with official coordinators to help you find crime statistics for your neighborhood and meeting times for your local neighborhood watch. You can rest assured that this city always strives to update old homes and build new homes to keep the quality of their property conditions and values up.
One of the last safe neighborhoods that we recommend you check out is Peoria, AZ, specifically near 99th Ave. and N. Lake Pleasant Rd. Peoria has a crime rate that is 38% lower than that of Arizona’s, with particularly low stats in violence and theft. Aside from knowing that you can feel safe in this suburb, you and your family can also benefit from the reputable public schools of Peoria Unified School District.

Peoria has also recently been investing in the renovation of P83, which is the entertainment district near the Peoria Sports Complex.
