A suburban feel with roots to a rural past are fueling development in Queen Creek along with land availability, local officials contend.
“People like to live here because it kind of feels like you are close to a lot of the conveniences that you have to the city but it still kind of feels like we have one foot in the country,” Brett Burningham, the town’s planning administrator and a resident of Queen Creek, said in an interview.
“We’re at the edge, it feels like we are far from freeways. There is kind of a rural theme. You can see the stars at night and there’s a lot of nice developments, but yeah, families seem to be flocking in,” he said.
