About Tolleson
Tolleson is a small city (under 8,000 residents) tucked into the inner southwest Valley, about 11 miles from downtown Phoenix. Named for settler W.G. Tolleson, it grew as an agricultural town along the Salt River and is now a major industrial and logistics corridor along I-10 and 91st Avenue. It is a community where housing runs well below neighboring city medians — and where Phoenix Raceway, Tres Rios wetlands and the Estrella Mountains are all a few minutes away. Expect a small-town feel with big freeway access.
