The Phoenix Museum of History features a main exhibit hall that highlights the history in the Salt River Valley. From the Hohokam people to modern day Phoenix, the entire history is in this exhibit. Children will be able to interact with Hancock’s Store, a reproduction of Phoenix’s first general store.

Not all gated neighborhoods include resort-style recreational facilities. Most have a community pool and clubhouse but others may not. Some smaller developments offer no more than a playground for the kids or a natural open area where residents can walk their dog.
