Maricopa - A Bedroom Community South of Phoenix
Maricopa is a city in Pinal County about 35 miles south of downtown Phoenix, with a population of roughly 48,600. Like Buckeye and Queen Creek, it experienced explosive residential growth in the early 2000s when master-planned developments turned desert and farmland into suburban neighborhoods. The city went from fewer than 2,000 residents in 2000 to over 43,000 by 2010, one of the sharpest growth rates recorded anywhere in the country during that period.
The Ak-Chin Indian Community borders the city to the north and operates Harrah's Ak-Chin Casino, a significant employer and entertainment venue for the area. Ultrastar Multi-tainment Center at Ak-Chin Circle provides additional recreation. State Route 347 connects Maricopa to the I-10 corridor near Chandler, and the commute to central Phoenix takes roughly 45 minutes to an hour depending on traffic. Amtrak's Maricopa station, serving the Sunset Limited and Texas Eagle lines, sits a few miles south of town.
The Copper Sky Recreation Complex, one of the largest municipal recreation facilities in Arizona, includes an aquatic center, sports fields, and a multi-use trail system. The complex opened in 2012 and has become the social anchor of the community.
Most commercial activity is concentrated along John Wayne Parkway (SR 347), with chain retailers, restaurants, and service businesses lining the route. The city is working to attract employers to reduce the heavy commuter outflow.
