The feel of Queen Creek is that of a small town, but with quick access to the amenities of nearby big cities. Given its proximity to the Superstition and San Tan mountains, Queen Creek offers nature lovers opportunities for horse-back riding, mountain biking and hiking. Queen Creek is home to both families and retirees. Along with its historical properties and ruins from the days of the cowboys, residents enjoy vast nature activities, including ranches, equestrian parks, hiking trails, and desert tours. Other amenities include Schnepf farms, farmers markets, an olive oil mill, and (of course) premier golfing opportunities. This quiet side of the Valley offers a nice refuge from the busy city chaos while still holding a comfortable and modern feel, perfect for those who enjoy a little bit of everything.
