Born and raised in Mesa- Dobson Mustangs!Thanks for the stats- WOW- a 75% increase in less than 19 years.  I still have some family in AZ, but mostly in Scottsdale.  My parents sold their home and moved to the beach in California about five years ago. Both my mom and I were agents at Re/Max Anasazi in Tempe. Now you know more about me than you wanted! I lived in the Islands- Warner & McQueen.

(We moved here in 1999, though my lovely bride Francy was born and raised in Mesa.) Here's some stats I drug up on Gilbert: 2000 Population: 109,697 Est 2006 Population: 191,617 (74.6% increase) Owner occupied housing units in 2000: 30,078 New home construction permits issued 2000 - 2006: 25,813 You'd probably be shocked if you came and saw what's been built and developed since 1999 -- 3 hospitals, a *huge shopping mall*, countless restaurants and many a farm now has a sprawling subdivision on it. Despite all that, there is still a nice home town feel to Gilbert. If you left Gilbert in 1999, you probably wouldn’t recognize it Ginger!

Any idea how many homes have been added in Gilbert in the last ten years? The numbers definitely have increased since I moved away in 1999.
