About Gilbert
Gilbert is the town directly south of Mesa, about 6 miles from Mesa's Census center point. It grew fast and recently: the median home was built in 2003 and 60% of homes date from 2000 or later (Census ACS). That puts a lot of original systems in the 15 to 25 year range, which is when the repair or replace question comes up.
