Centrally located between Phoenix and Tucson, Casa Grande is the perfect, sunny locale for unique small-town life with big-city opportunity.

Just ask the locals. You'll find you might be directed to the beautiful Casa Grande Ruins just outside the city. Originally thought to have been inhabited for about 1,000 years and abandoned in the 1400s, these ancient dwellings provide a fascinating peek into native Casa Grande living. You might also hear local tales of the old Domes of Casa Grande, just across town, which are as storied as they are eerie.

Even in as quaint a town as this, it's a good idea to set your new place up with a home security system that can help protect your property and loved ones. Since ADT offers 24/7 professional monitoring with super fast response times, you'll get speedy help when you need it.

Once the weekend hits, you've got plenty of places to go from your new home base in Casa Grande. Head up to Phoenix for food trucks and live music at First Fridays, or do some sightseeing at Saguaro National Park in Tucson. Whether you landed a new gig up north, down south, or somewhere in between, you're looking at a delightful getaway weekend in any direction.
