Mesa, Arizona

Mesa is one of the fastest growing towns in Arizona. Originally settled by the Mormons in 1878, it is the location of one of their oldest temples yet has grown into a popular residential area for many people.  With a population of just under a half million, only 10% are Mormons.First settled by the Hohokam Indians nearly 2000 years ago, the area was cultivated for agricultural use by digging and sustaining a series of canals.  Some of these canals still exist today although the Hohokams disappeared long before the Mormons arrived and revived the canals. In more modern times, Mesa cultivated not farming but aerospace technology and with the invention and availibility of air conditioning became a popular tourist destination as well.

Where To Live

Your search for a Mesa apartment should start in the historic downtown area.  It's there that there is older architecture, tree lined streets and a lively scene both day and night. Quieter areas are found as the city radiates out toward its city limits. Since Mesa is very much a car oriented town, you may want to consider commuting distance although you won't find the traffic insurmountable either. 

Life in Mesa

There's certainly plenty to do in Mesa.  The relatively new Arts Center is the largest in Arizona and houses theatres, galleries and public art spaces.  With both Saguaro Lake and the Salt River nearby, there are plenty of opportunities for water sports. The Chicago Cubs do their spring training in Mesa, which provides the baseball fan with an advance look on the coming seasons.  The amphitheatre is a great concert venue and consistently books big name bands and other entertainment.

Go Out To Cook Out

Because it is Arizona, expect that there will be very good Mexican food near your new Mesa apartment. Try Rosa's Mexican Grill for starters. There are several very good sports bars, but a constant favorite is The Monastery where you can cook out yourself, play volley ball and chill out with friends in a great outdoor atmosphere.  There are upscale steakhouses for those splurge type nights.

Open Mike Nights

Nightlife varies from low key nights at places like Famous Sam's, where the locals try out their karaoke fantasies or listen to live music to the Second Friday nights in the downtown area. There are open mikes, and all the shops and restaurants open their door for something like a block party. Even if it isn't on your block, it won't be too far from your Mesa apartment to join in and enjoy the nights.
