Gilbert once again led all Valley municipalities in new-home permits in 2013, the third consecutive year the town has ranked as the region’s busiest homebuilding hot spot, according to data acquired by The Republic.
The fast-growing community issued 1,927 single-family home permits last year, outpacing much-larger Phoenix and totaling more than Mesa and Chandler combined, data show.
Such numbers provide statistical evidence of a reality many Gilbert residents are witnessing on a daily basis as new master-planned communities and infill developments bring thousands of people to the area.
