About the area

Located on East Carriage Way in Gilbert, Arizona, the center is positioned in a convenient suburban setting easily accessible from major routes like the Loop 202. Gilbert was once known as the 'Hay Shipping Capital of the World,' but it has transitioned into a bustling residential and commercial hub, making the presence of a dedicated Jewish center essential for the growing number of Jewish families moving to the Phoenix metropolitan area.

The neighborhood is predominantly residential and family-oriented, reflecting the community-focused nature of Chabad's work. Its proximity to Chandler and Mesa allows the center to serve as a connector for the broader Jewish population across the East Valley. This location allows visitors to enjoy the quiet of the suburbs while remaining close to the amenities of the greater Phoenix area.

For those venturing further into the East Valley, the greater Phoenix area contains several well-established Jewish institutions. While Gilbert itself is a growing community, the nearby cities of Chandler and Tempe offer additional Jewish infrastructure, including established synagogues and community centers. Historically, the Jewish community in this part of Arizona has seen significant growth, leading to the development of several eruvim in neighboring districts.

Shopping and dining options within a short drive of the carriage way location include various supermarkets. Many of these national chains, such as Fry's and Safeway, maintain dedicated kosher aisles and seasonal sections to serve the local Jewish population's needs during holidays.
