Phoenix is the capital and the most populous city of Arizona as well as being the largest state capital in the United States by population.

Because of the beautiful weather, activities can be enjoyed year-round.
Located on the Western edge of Phoenix, Glendale is home to Fiesta Bowls and the 2008 Super Bowl, offers travelers a wide variety of amenities including the famous Historic Downtown shopping district, legendary special events and festivals, museums and cultural attractions, and a growing number of professional sports facilities.
Located on the Northwest of Phoenix, Peoria is a city rich in history and it continues to grow. Similar to Glendale, it has a variety to offer and in July 2008, Money Magazine listed Peoria in the "Top 100 Places to Live".
