Parks is a very small town located in the state of Arizona. With a population of 1,382 people and two associated neighborhoods, Parks is the 137th largest community in Arizona.

Parks home prices are not only among the most expensive in Arizona, but Parks real estate also consistently ranks among the most expensive in America.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 22.50% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Another notable thing is that Parks is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Parks’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

Because of many things, Parks is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Parks really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Parks perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Parks has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Parks a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
