The Center has a beautiful common social area, a well-equipped gym, and a classroom for language, art, and other classes and social activities. The staff is very friendly and helpful and they make sure that covid precautions are taken (masks are mandatory regardless of vaxx status) in light of the fact that seniors are a vulnerable subset of the population.

Been a while since I reviewed the MVCC and a lot has happened, so an update is in order. None of…read morethe changes are good and I'll keep it brief. -Equipment is not being kept up and management says the budget doesn't allow for proper upkeep. -Management has changed...for the worse. The employees here, like Amy, are generally cool, but the manager is, shall we say, not a very service-oriented individual. Expect to be kicked out of the center 15 minutes before the advertised close time, so staff can have doors locked and be driving away at precisely close time. -Personal trainer's hours were cut back. Pat is a great asset to the Center, but her hours were scaled back recently so it's harder to benefit from working with her. When asked about fixing the equipment and restoring Pat's hours, the manager said dues would have to be raised to do so. "The money's just not there." Now that there's a great Planet Fitness just around the corner that only charges $10/month with brand new equipment, the MVCC has become irrelevant. The cool "local gym" vibe is tarnished by the staff's indifference and poorly maintained equipment. As much as I've enjoyed using this gym and love the people who work out here, it just doesn't make sense to continue my membership. Incidentally, the Rabinos still have a Shito Kai karate dojo here and the expert instruction they offer our kids DOES bring us back. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The Goelet A.C. Beuf Community Center is located on 35th Ave. & Pinnacle Peak Road. This is an…read moreawesome community center with several ammenities including: classrooms, a gym/weightroom, indoor track, and dance/exercise room. The indoor track is free to walk and is air conditioned - bonus for those walkers who dread the summer heat. Use of the gym is at a cost - I think around $60 for the year, so it's pretty inexpensive but the gym is pretty small. They offer a variety of fitness/dance classes, at a cost, including: aerobics, ballet, belly dance, kickboxing, pilates and yoga + many more. They also offer specialty education classes including: oil painting, computers and spanish. I have taken a few of the classes and they are pretty inexpensive and last for a few months at a time - either once or twice weekly. It seems that they offer a lot of classes and activities for kids and seniors as well. Other amenities include indoor basketball court, softball fields, soccer field, basketball and volleyball courts, playgrounds, and picnic areas. The center is always clean and the staff is incredibly helpful. If in or close to the neighborhood this is a great community center to have access to.

Did you know the north central Phoenix community of Sunnyslope includes the first subdivision built…read morein the Phoenix area and has existed since before Arizona was a state? Originally settled by poor tuberculants who spent their last dime traveling to a drier climate, Sunnyslope was filled with tents and cottages with porches. In 1911, retired architect W.R. Norton (who had already been living in the area for four years) planned a subdivision and named it "Sunnyslope" inspired by his daughter's remark, "What a pretty sunny slope!" after seeing the morning sun on North Mountain. By the 1920s, Sunnyslope had grown into a small yet diverse community of prospectors, homesteaders, writers and musicians, among others. Today, the population tops 51,000 and is still very diverse, representing various gifts, ethnicities and socio-economic groups. Perhaps the most notable quality about Sunnyslope is the community's strong sense of independence, characteristic of its unique sense of place. Residents tried several times to incorporate, finally relenting in 1959 and allowing the community to be annexed by the City of Phoenix. Still, despite being located in the middle of a large metropolitan area, Sunnyslope maintains a unique, small town atmosphere with an active and engaged resident base. Besides its cool history, other unique elements of Sunnyslope include: * One of the few places in Phoenix where in-fill development opportunities exist. * Diverse housing stock and elevation - from living room windows you can see downtown. * Lots of outdoor amenities: Murphy's Bridle Path, the canal, North Mountain preserve and more than five city parks. * 9 public art installations. * Easy access to downtown Phoenix. * John C. Lincoln Hospital, the community's largest employer, acts as convener for community meetings and events such as a community policing meeting, the Sunnyslope Fall Festival and the Sunnyslope Art Walk. * Sunnyslope Village Alliance hosts regular meetings with elected officials representing the community. All are open to the public and there is no cost to attend. * Sunnyslope Historical Society is housed in what was once the People's Pharmacy building. This building's claim to fame is that is was the first drive-thru window west of the Mississippi. * Authentic Mexican food representing regions including: Oaxaca, Mexico City and Sonora. * The best patio in Phoenix (Bomberos Café & Wine Bar). * A free neighborhood circulator where you just wave down a shuttle and it will stop (plus there's a transit station for the city bus). Light rail plans to stretch to 19th Ave. & Dunlap which will be a bonus! While Sunnyslope did experience a period of decline, a result of older housing stock and poorly maintained rental properties, people who have called this place home have remained vigilant in advocating for their neighborhood and care about their neighbors. Sunnyslope is experiencing a renaissance and is getting more attention for its best qualities; but, truly, if you ask anyone who lives here they'll probably tell you the very best thing about Sunnyslope is the people!
