Sellers - What is Your Home Worth in the Phoenix Metro Area, Scottsdale and East Valley? Phoenix, Chandler, Gilbert & Scottsdale Area  What do you want your real estate agent to be? I've found that most people want to work with a real estate agent that listens to their needs, has the market knowledge and expertise to help them sell or purchase their home as smoothly and simply as possible. Phoenix (pronounced /ˈfiːˌnɪks/, O'odham Skikik, Western Apache Fiinigis, Navajo Hoozdo, Mojave Hachpa 'Anya Nyava[3]) is the capital and the most populous city of the U.S. state of Arizona and the county seat of Maricopa County, as well as being the largest state capital in the United States by population. It is the largest city in the American Southwest and is the region's primary government, cultural, economic, and transportation center. Phoenix is located along the banks of the now normally dry Salt River, and was incorporated as a city on February 25, 1881. Residents of Phoenix are known as Phoenicians. The city's estimated population as of 2006 was 1,512,986, making it the fifth largest city in the United States.[2] At 515 square miles, its city proper is the 10th largest land area for a city in the United States, resulting in a lower population density. As of 2006, the Phoenix Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) was the 13th largest in the United States, with an estimated population of 4,039,182.[4] Phoenix and the surrounding area is home to a broad range of cultural activities including the performing arts, museums, and events. Performing ArtsFound throughout the Phoenix area, but primarily in and around downtown Phoenix and in Scottsdale, are several performing arts venues, including the Phoenix Symphony Hall. Groups such as Arizona Opera and Ballet Arizona perform there. Concerts also regularly make stops in the area. US Airways Center in downtown Phoenix, Jobing.com Arena in Glendale, and the Dodge theater (also in downtown Phoenix) are usually the venues for concerts. MuseumsSeveral museums are scattered around the valley. One of the most well-known museums in the area is the Heard Museum just north of downtown. From its start as a small museum, the Heard has grown in size and stature to where now it is recognized internationally[citation needed] for the quality of its collections of Native American art, its educational programming and its festivals. As of 2008, the collection of the Heard Museum consists of over 40,000 items[clarify], and it has over 130,000 square feet (12,000 m²) of gallery, classroom and performance space. Some of the signature exhibits include a full Navajo hogan, the Mareen Allen Nichols Collection containing 260 pieces of contemporary jewelry, the Barry Goldwater Collection of 437 historic Hopi kachina dolls, and an exhibit on the 19th century boarding school experiences of Native Americans. The Heard Museum now attracts about 250,000 visitors a year. Other notable museums include the Arizona Science Center, Fleischer Museum, Hall of Flame Firefighting Museum, Arizona Historical Society Museum, Phoenix Museum of History, the Phoenix Zoo, and the Pueblo Grande Museum and Cultural Park.
