Neighborhood overview

What Gateway is like

Gateway organized as a City-recognized neighborhood after residents began the formation process in 2017. Because its name can be confused with the separate Desert Highland / Gateway reporting area, the official lookup map is especially important when researching an address here.

This is a concise orientation, not a boundary or property-level determination. Use the official neighborhood map for an address lookup.
