The Village Center at Laurel is the heart of the community. Here, history blends with regional architecture to create a place that fosters activity. The Village Plaza is fronted by the old Hacienda building and a small post office, recalling an early history of this land.

Arts, education, celebrations, and gatherings of all kinds happen within this setting as the residents of Laurel come together. The Plaza serves as the perfect community-wide gathering spot on cool evenings for festivals and events. The grand fountain offers an inviting place to sit on warm Arizona afternoons. Services, shopping and dining abound among the colonnades and shaded courts. Taking cues from Yuma’s historic Main Street, the buildings frame a cool and quaint space.

Also, when you shop locally, you make an investment in your community, your neighbors, and yourself. It’s estimated that for every dollar you spend locally instead of at a national chain or over the Internet, twice as much will be reinvested in your community, fueling the local economy and helping to preserve the unique character of Laurel and Yuma.
