Laveen is an "urban village" within the city of Phoenix in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States, situated eight miles (13 km) southwest of Downtown Phoenix between South Mountain and the confluence of the Gila and Salt rivers. Parts of Laveen constitute an unincorporated community in Maricopa County, while the remainder falls within the city limits of Phoenix, constituting the city's "Laveen Village". Laveen Village is split between District 7 and District 8, both notable as minority-majority districts for the city. Although Laveen has been home to "pastoral alfalfa, cotton, and dairy farms" since the 1880s, housing and commercial developments have been increasingly urbanizing the area.

I currently live on a rural property they has a golf course right across the street. The 3 acre lot right beside me has just been bought and they will begin the build soon. This will be a 50+ community only. Laveen has many walking trails, dog parks, farmers markets, and a great deal more of activities for the elderly.

Although I am fairly new to this area, I would state this community has a culture of respecting their elders. The ethnic groups hold high seniority with their elders. This is normalized within their culture, and has become the standard. It's a mirror effect, witnessing how others treat their elders in the public view showcases the set example and everyone follows in harmony.
