Local history
Apache Junction takes its name from the spot where the Apache Trail (State Route 88) meets the highway to Phoenix. In the early 1920s a homesteader named George Cleveland Curtis set up a stand at the junction selling water and supplies to travelers, and a small community grew around it. The city incorporated in 1978.
The town lives in the shadow of the Superstition Mountains and the legend of the Lost Dutchman’s gold mine. Lost Dutchman State Park, Goldfield Ghost Town and the winding drive to Tortilla Flat keep it a favorite for visitors and winter residents.
Housing market
Apache Junction has a mix you will not find in most Valley cities. There are many manufactured homes and 55+ and RV communities, site-built homes from the 1970s on, and larger lots with horses, workshops and room to spread out. Some properties are on septic systems instead of city sewer.
Many homes have had additions over the years, like Arizona rooms, carports and roof-overs, so I pay close attention to how the add-ons tie into the original structure.
What I look for

Manufactured homes need a close look underneath. In this one I found termites, a deck with problems and plenty to talk about under the floor. Watch on YouTube or read the post.
