“Our neighbor keeps an eye on things.” While well-intentioned, neighbors have their own schedules, travel plans, and limits. They usually are not checking water leaks, electrical panels, AC systems, rooflines, irrigation timers, or signs of storm or pest damage. Most are not documenting visits or noticing the small red flags that turn into big repairs when missed.

A professional home watch service provides scheduled, consistent inspections by trained eyes whose sole job is to protect your home while you are away. If your home is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, relying on a casual check-in is a risk that can get expensive fast. Protect your investment. Hire a professional.

JWe’re reminded daily of its presence, and we’re glad to be neighbors to one of the most influential institutions in Arizona history: Luke Air Force Base.

Luke was established in 1941, just before the United States entered World War II. Originally called Litchfield Park Air Base, it was renamed in honor of Lt. Frank Luke Jr., an Arizona native and World War I flying ace known as the “Arizona Balloon Buster.” During World War II, the base trained thousands of fighter pilots, playing a critical role in the war effort.

In the decades that followed, Luke became one of the premier fighter pilot training bases in the country. It has trained pilots on aircraft ranging from the F-84 and F-100 to the F-15 and F-16, and today it is one of the primary training locations for the F-35 Lightning II. Pilots from allied nations also train there, making it an international hub for advanced fighter instruction.

Beyond its military mission, Luke shaped the development of the West Valley. The base provided stable jobs, attracted supporting industries, and influenced zoning decisions that preserved open land around it. In many ways, its presence helped prevent overdevelopment in certain corridors while fueling growth in others.

For residents of Arrowhead, and surrounding west valley communities, the sight and sound of fighter jets overhead are part of daily life. Luke is more than a military installation. It is a long standing economic engine and a defining piece of West Valley history that continues to shape the region today.

Don’t forget, Luke Days 2026 is happening in March!

Luke AFB, Glendale, AZ, USA, Open House and Air Show, March 21 -22, 2026
