Sandy is a suburb of Salt Lake City. Sandy is on the edge of the mountains near some major ski resorts. It's a very family oriented community where all the neighbors know each other. We have block parties during the summer and build snowmen in the winter. We LOVE our neighborhood and don't want to leave!

Goodyear, The city of Goodyear (GY), AZ is located on the far west side of the valley in the Phoenix metro area, home to the Goodyear Ballpark, where the Cincinnati Reds & Cleveland Indians of the MLB practice their spring training.

Phoenix, It's desert. It's super hot in the summer, but nice the rest of the year. There are lots of cacti, and the cactus trees that are most famous are the saguaros. There are lots of desert animals, desert squirrels, coyotes, jack rabbits, lizards, snakes, scorpions, etc.

Phoenix is the 5th largest city in the US. So is it built up? Yes! Most of the houses are made in the Southwestern style with tile roofs and stucco on the outside. The colors of the houses are meant to blend in with the desert, so they're usually an offwhite, beige, brown, green, something like that.

There are palm trees in the neighborhoods. They don't grow naturally in the desert, but people will plant them in the downtown areas and in subdivisions.

You can see for miles. Phoenix is a valley, surrounded by beautiful mountains. It's called, "The Valley of the Sun," because it's sunny most of the time. In the summer, it's so sunny, your sunglasses barely help. It's so hot, it's like being in an oven.

Goodyear, AZ, This upload is a revision from a previous upload (Jen/Goodyear), as I was unable to delete the other one, and needed to make a few changes.

The city of Goodyear is a suburb of Phoenix, AZ located right off of Interstate 10 due west of Sky Harbor International Airport & downtown Phoenix. It is home to Goodyear Ballpark where the Cincinnati Reds & Cleveland Indians of the MLB practice their spring training.
In 2008, Goodyear won the All-America City Award, sponsored by the National Civic League. The city is named after the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company when they owned farmland in the area to grow & harvest cotton for their tires.
It is a 15-minute drive from both the âUniversity of Phoenix Stadiumâ where the AZ Cardinals of the NFL play their home games, & âJobing.com Arenaâ home to the AZ Coyotes of the NHL. Itâs only a 5-minute drive to Phoenix International Raceway, which hosts NASCAR twice a year.
Goodyear is a diverse community with a variety of ethnic backgrounds that consist of young well-educated families to retirees living out their golden years in the Arizona sun, surrounded by mountains & beautiful desert landscape.
Goodyearâs most prize possession are the men & women who serve at neighboring Luke Air Force Base, home to the F-16 fighter jets.

Personal note: My husband retired from the USMC after 30 years of military service, so it was nice to finally settle in Goodyear, a place that we now call home in a community we absolutely love. In addition, having family stateside is an added bonus, especially being near my Mom & brother who are both not physically well.
We bought our home in late 2010, hoping we could begin landscaping immediately. However, other financial obligations took priority putting our landscaping plans on hold for a later time.
Already 2 1/2 years have gone by, & as you can see from the photos, we have yet to landscape. I believe we are the only home in our housing community that does not have a landscaped backyard.
I can not begin to tell you how much my husband & I would love to spend our free time in the backyard relaxing & enjoying Arizonaâs beautiful days & evenings in the fall, winter, & spring, and how nice it would be to jump in a spool on those blistering hot summer days, as well.
More then anything, I'd love to have a warm & welcoming backyard that would be a gathering place for family & friends, and a sanctuary to spend what time we have left with our loved-ones.
Our backyard landscaping is long overdue, so with that being said, Yard Crashers, CRASH ME, PLEASE!!!!!!

San Antonio, Home of "The Alamo", San Antonio has suffered drought conditions for the past ten years so zero scape is the way to go! I've planted many cacti but cannot keep up with the lack of grass in my yard. It needs to be rocked and pathed to make it beautiful!, Southwest
