El Mirage stayed true to its beginnings as a little town for a long time and didn’t become incorporated as a real town until 1951. But when the Phoenix metropolitan area started to grow rapidly, the city limits expanded west to include El Mirage. It’s located right in between two other rapidly growing Phoenix suburbs, Sun City and Surprise. Now El Mirage is one of the fastest-growing towns in the Phoenix/Mesa metropolitan area.

Life in El Mirage
As part of the greater Phoenix and Mesa area, there’s a lot to do. Despite being in the middle of the desert sun, a lot of residents still take advantage of the outdoor parks and activities available. It’s never very hard to cool off during those months of 100-degree days.
El Mirage itself has some military museums, which honor the area’s military history. If you're willing to go the extra distance, Phoenix also has a ton of shopping and restaurants available for when you want to get out of the heat for a while and enjoy some air conditioned freedom.
The metro Phoenix area is huge and sprawls out in all directions. In most western cities, this requires a lot of heavy car traffic and nightmarish commute times. But El Mirage is included among the parts of Phoenix that offers access to air conditioned public transportation.
