In 2009 Phoenix Magazine voted Litchfield Park as one of the top 8 cities to live in Arizona.
If you are looking to take advantage of low home prices but aren’t sure where you want to look, take a drive out to Litchfield Park. It is like a little oasis in the desert. And as you get to know the people of Litchfield, you will soon learn that generations of families have raised their families in this quaint small town.
Here’s what Phoenix Magazine had to say about Litchfield Park on their website:

For a 3-square-mile town, Litchfield Park packs in a lot of personas. By reputation, it’s a retirement community populated by snowbirds who stayed. But if that rep is entirely true, why are there so many kids around, and why is the “main strip” anchored by Blu Sushi, an ultramodern Japanese-American joint, and Taps, a stylish black and brick bar where rock music rules and waitresses wear red bustiers?
With its breezy palm-and-orange-tree promenade, you could liken Litchfield Park to Palm Springs – except that the population is one-tenth the size, housing prices are $40,000 less, and the architecture is distinctly Arizonan. And just when you call it a resort community, you remember that only half the town is dominated by the Wigwam Resort & Spa.
“[Litchfield Park] has evolved,” says native Vicki Neal, 30. “It’s a fun little community, a mix of lively retirees and a younger crowd who grew up here.”
“You can be at Grille on the Greens [at the Wigwam Resort] partying with 50- and 60-year olds and having a great time,” says Kait Moore, 40.
So whether you’re a cool, golf-loving septuagenarian or a young family looking for a safe community with a diversely aged social circle, you’ll feel at home “in the park.”
