El Mirage has transcended its rural, agricultural beginnings to emerge as a diverse suburban community of more than 32,000 residents currently in 2015. The City’s affordable housing, small town feel, and proximity to Phoenix have attracted young working families seeking their first homes, retirees looking for community cohesion and a less hurried pace. The Senior Center enhances the participant’s lives by providing a positive, nurturing and supportive social environment.

El Mirage is located in the heart of the rapidly growing West Valley, approximately 19 miles northwest of downtown Phoenix.  The City is minutes away from Luke Air Force Base, the USAF’s largest fighter pilot training facility in the world. 

El Mirage lies on the west bank of the usually dry Agua Fria River. Several recreational areas can be found nearby, including the Lake Pleasant White Tanks Mountain Regional Parks.
