Forbes.com just released it's list of America's Fastest Growing Suburbs. While Lincoln, CA took the top spot, four of the top-ten places are Arizona cities, specifically cities in the West Valley of Phoenix.
Buckeye, Surprise, and Goodyear took spots two through four, and Avondale placed ninth. Buckeye grew an astounding 191% since 2000, Surprise came in at 165%, Goodyear 142% and Avondale 102.4%.
Buckeye and Surprise should surprise no one by their showing. Both cities have demonstrated aggressive growth this decade and both intend to continue. Buckeye, if all goes as planned, will surpass the population of Phoenix once the developments along Sun Valley Parkway complete. The same can be said for Surprise as that city dominates the growth in the Northwest Valley.
