I have lived in Apache Junction now for over 11 years.  My family and I have thoroughly enjoyed and treasured living in this town. To me, our town has always given me a "home town" feeling with all of its shops, parks, city activities and schools.  Apache Junction is very similar to the town I grew up in Louisiana.  It also has encouraged me to see the growth of our town, not just in population but in simple things such as the main street landscaping, remodeling of businesses and government buildings, store additions and road improvements.
