<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">A bedroom community located on the western side of the Phoenix metropolitan area, El Mirage presents a lower cost of living than many parts of the city. The northern portion of the community is primarily filled with residential neighborhoods, while the southern part is host to farming land. The community is quieter, with comparatively less commercial development than other suburbs. But like many parts of the metropolitan area, El Mirage continues to experience significant growth, and while current housing costs are lower than many parts of greater Phoenix the community is not lacking in positive features.</p>

The 18-hole golf course makes use of the desert landscaping and is open for semi-public play.</p>
