All streets are paved, accessing a variety of oversized residential lot options, including RV lots with pad and storage, park models, modular homes, and site-built homes, some valued at over $300,000.

Somerton was established in 1898 and incorporated in 1918, on land once claimed for the fraudulent Rancho El Paso de los Algodones [land] Grant. This property along the Colorado River was very attractive to speculators. The U.S. Congress passed a law that allowed settlers who were on the land prior to May 25, 1898 to buy up to 40 acres for only $1.25 per acre. In addition to agriculture, there is some light industry starting up in Somerton. Citrus and vegetable growing and processing concerns employ many local residents, and some small commercial service companies are paving the way for more small businesses.
4 Yuma Community Guide 2017 yumacommunityguide.com Wellton Located 29 miles east of Yuma on the opposite side of the Gila Mountains, the town of Wellton is a lively center for business, services and recreation. During the winter season, the population of 3,000 almost doubles as seasonal vacationers flock to the many RV parks from the western states and Canada. It’s no wonder, with so many warm, sunny days that the area in and around Wellton has become such a popular retirement destination. Once a water stop for the Butterfield Overland Mail stagecoaches and then the Southern Pacific Railroad, this small town’s history began with its founding in 1878. As cars came into use, “Well Town”, named for the water wells to supply the railroad, became Wellton which is now primarily an agricultural community. Coyote Wash Shopping Center is located just south of I-8 at the Wellton exit, on Commerce Way. The Coyote Wash Golf Course is a short distance south, surrounded by the master-planned community of Coyote Wash.
San Luis Go an additional 12 miles south of Somerton, and you’ll be in San Luis, just over the border from Mexico. The city promotes trade with Mexico with a combination of industrial, commercial and agricultural businesses. San Luis’ proximity to the border also provides a tremendous opportunity to leverage binational recreational and cultural assets. Shopping in the Mexican border town is always a favorite, and the open air markets in this town offer Mexican souvenirs, dentists, doctors and pharmacies within walking distance from the border. A rich heritage and cultural appeal make this city a unique community. You’ll discover binational events ranging from a Corn and Date Festival, to the Tierra Sonora Concert and off road events. San Luis is the gateway to the Sea of Cortez where the “Golfo de Santa Clara” is merely 70 miles south of the border, which offers abundant recreational opportunities such as recreational driving, sailing, swimming and great seafood restaurants. The new coastal highway “La Costera” toll road connects Puerto Peñasco, “Rocky Point” to El Golfo de Santa Clara making a safe passage for visitors wanting to experience beautiful beaches, resorts, cruises, deep sea fishing, multiple water sports, and the famous Harley Davison bike rally.

What you need to know about Yuma’s ban on using electronic devices while driving The ban, in effect since early 2016, prohibits drivers from using handheld electronic devices, including a cell phone, tablet or electronic game for talking, texting or any other purpose while behind the wheel. The ban does not include hands-free devices such as Bluetooth, law enforcement officers, emergency vehicle drivers on official duties, drivers on private property and those who are legally parked. CB or ham radios are also excluded. Tickets will be dismissed if drivers can prove they were contacting authorities. Arizona is one of two states that haven’t enacted any sort of ban on texting or talking behind the wheel. In Phoenix, Flagstaff and Tucson, drivers are prohibited from text messaging. San Luis also bans use of handheld wireless devices. Fines in all cities are $100 or $250 (accident). AAA states a ban on cell phone calls and texting while driving would save lives by banning the most dangerous distraction on the road.
