Downtown Gilbert is the cultural heart of this fast-growing city in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Restaurants, local watering holes, and music venues are all throughout this buzzing downtown area. You’ll find barbecue restaurants, ice cream shops, thrift stores, and more in charming brick buildings set in a pedestrian-friendly layout. Downtown Gilbert plays host to the Gilbert Farmers Market, a weekly market with locally grown produce and more that brings the community together every Sunday. Downtown is also the center of annual events like the Downtown Concert Series and the Art Walk. There are modern apartments for rent and stylish single-family homes with terracotta roofs available as well. Phoenix is just a 20-minute drive north, but you may find it hard to leave this endearing section of Gilbert.
