Modern Wickenburg. Living In Wickenburg AZ
Just 60 miles northwest of Downtown Phoenix in the Northern reaches of the great southwest’s Sonoran Desert. Wickenburg is noted for its clean air, good country living, western hospitality and all-around high quality of life.
Wickenburg AZ today is a modern town with over 600 businesses providing a range of services, shopping, specialty shops and galleries for western-themed gifts. It is the home of two world-renowned mental health treatment facilities, including Remuda Programs for Eating Disorders and The Meadows, as well as smaller treatment centers. The City Council is working to annex land eastward along US-60 to the intersection of AZ-74, to expand the soft economic base of the city.
At present, most Wickenburg residents shop outside the city because Wickenburg lacks the wide variety of shopping and dining opportunities available in the malls and large stores in the Phoenix area. As such, the city remains tax-poor. Although, its unique local economic base has made it fairly self-contained and independent from nearby Phoenix and environs, Route 660 of the Valley Metro system now provides a linked bus service through Surprise. More home construction has meant increased growth, although the city continues to primarily attract retirees because of the limited number of local high-paying jobs needed by a younger population to support their families. Wickenburg's challenge is to provide the transportation, communication, and shopping resources needed by the increasing population, and to do so in a manner that respects and enhances its historic image as the center of the Old West and maintains its small-town feel.
