The Guide Behind
Eastside PHX
Meet Tricia Manara
Tricia Manara isn't your average real estate agent. With 19 years of experience in the East Valley, a Master's in Finance, and an AI certification most agents can't even spell, she brings a level of expertise and innovation that is hard to find.
She built her own AI Listing Advantage because "just putting it on the MLS" was never going to cut it. Data-driven, tech-forward, and zero drama at closing. That is the Tricia difference.
But Eastside PHX is not about selling houses. It is about sharing a place Tricia genuinely loves. After nearly two decades living and working in Gilbert, she has watched these communities grow, evolve, and come alive. She knows the best restaurants, the hidden trailheads, the festivals worth waking up for, and the neighborhoods where families put down roots.
Eastside PHX is her way of showing you around. Think of it as a friend who happens to know every corner of the East Valley and is happy to share.
Meet the Mascot
Every great guide needs a loyal sidekick. Tricia's goldendoodle is the unofficial mascot of Eastside PHX and can often be found keeping her company during late-night research sessions on the best new restaurants in the Valley.
If you see a fluffy white dog at a Gilbert community event, that is probably the mascot doing quality control on the local treats.
Why Eastside PHX Exists
The East Valley of Phoenix is one of the best places to live in the Southwest. It has incredible food, stunning desert landscapes, tight-knit communities, and a quality of life that is hard to beat. But finding that information in one place is not easy.
Eastside PHX is Tricia's answer to that problem. A curated, honest, always-updated guide to everything happening on this side of town. No clickbait, no fluff, just the good stuff from someone who actually lives here.
Whether you are thinking about moving to the East Valley or you already call it home, this site is for you.
