Goodyear is a city in the southwest corner of Maricopa County, situated along the I-10 corridor roughly 17 miles west of downtown Phoenix. It was incorporated in 1946 and named after the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, which operated cotton farms in the area.
Today Goodyear is one of the fastest-growing cities in Arizona, driven by its position at the intersection of the I-10 and Loop 303 freeways, an expanding employment base, and a mix of master-planned communities and new residential development. The Phoenix Goodyear Airport (GYR) anchors a growing aviation and industrial district on the city's west side.
The city borders Avondale to the east and Buckeye to the west. Litchfield Park lies to the north. The Loop 303 corridor, running north-south through Goodyear, has become a significant hub for logistics, e-commerce distribution, and commercial development.

Goodyear has been one of the most active new-construction markets in the Phoenix metro. Several national and regional builders are operating in the city.
Builder sales representatives work for the builder. Buyers have the option to be represented by an independent REALTOR® at no additional cost in most new-construction transactions — but you typically must register your agent on your first visit to the sales office. Buyer-agent compensation in new construction varies by builder and should be confirmed before your visit.
