Yuma is the third fastest growing area in the United States! Now all of these people can't be wrong - so why, out of all of the great cities in the U.S.?

Yuma's outstanding growth is, of course, our wonderful climate. Summers can get a little warm, but with the low humidity and the prevalence of air conditioning, they are far from unbearable. And as your reward for making it through 3 months of heat, you have 9 months of beautiful temperatures. Even in the middle of January - our coldest month - the daytime temperature averages in the mid-60's. Yuma's wonderful winters have not gone unnoticed by our friends from the North - our population doubles with the arrival of winter visitors, providing a boon for area businesses. Seasonal visitors contribute approximately $300 million annually to the Yuma economy.

Dedicated to providing the best quality of life for its citizens, the City of Yuma recently created six additional community parks, including a river-front park bordering the Colorado River and the new Yuma West Wetlands Park. The East Wetlands restoration project is currently under construction and the City has just completed the long awaited Yuma Art Center and restoration on the Historic Yuma Theatre The new Yuma Palms Regional Center opened in late 2004, bringing in nearly 1,000,000 square feet of additional shopping to the Yuma community.

Yuma is nestled in the Yuma and Gila valleys of southern Arizona, offering a climate that blends pleasant desert sunshine with the cool waters of the Colorado River. Our clean air affords residents and visitors alike a year round vista of surrounding rugged mountains. Ranked by Money Magazine as one of the top places to live in the United States, no wonder many of the people who visit our community one day return to raise a family, retire in comfort, or simply take advantage of being part of one of America's fastest growing cities.
