Apache Junction

Apache Junction has a lot going for it. For starters, there’s the setting. The city is the gateway to the legendary Superstition Mountains, with their breathtaking views and vast amenities—hiking, water sports and camping, to name just a few. To the west are more than 15 cities and towns that encompass greater Phoenix.

From a business perspective, Apache Junction is an ideal place for advanced manufacturing, distribution, mining support (major mining operations in Globe/Miami, Kearny and Superior are within 45 miles of the city), building material sales, and business service operations.  There are thousands of acres available between US HWY 60 and SR 24 that are already zoned for industrial, commercial, and office in the recently annexed Superstition Vistas neighborhood.

And the city is a tourist mecca, attracting visitors from across the nation and throughout the world. Among the draws are the Lost Dutchman Marathon, Renaissance Festival, local and state parks, and a chain of lakes extending up to Roosevelt Dam.
