Looking for a really cool 55-plus community?
You're about to find out.
You're probably wondering about the different communities, how far they are to commute,
to work back and forth, to the airport back and forth.
But let's be honest.
The number one thing is about lifestyle.

Diana Benson: In this video.
I'm going to walk you through the top three 55-plus communities in Arizona, specifically
in Gilbert.
Did you know that Gilbert's the safest community in the United States of a hundred thousand
people or more?
In fact, we've been in the number one or two spot of the United States in the last five
years.
In today's world, that's really important.
Diana Benson: Let's start with the first one.
Trilogy at Power Ranch.
There's actually only one adult community in the true town limits of Gilbert.
Trilogy is a gated community of 2035 homes.
They range from 1,100 square feet to 2,800 square feet, and they range in price from
$265,000 to $550,000.
Diana Benson: Trilogy is built around the Trilogy golf course.
It's an 18-hole golf course that's 6,900 yards built by Dick Bailey.
It's an 18-hole golf course, 6,900 yards that goes through the desert and the Queen Creek
Wash.
You can purchase an annual pass, which will allow you to have advanced tee times and unlimited
use of the putting green and driving range.
It also has a 900 square foot climate-controlled pavilion that has a flight monitor that allows
you to fine tune your game.
It also has golfing drills and swing videos.
Diana Benson: So if you love to golf, this is a perfect
place, but don't worry.
If you don't like to golf, there's plenty to do.
In fact, there's a beautiful club house that has a pool, tennis court, pickleball, shuffleboard,
all types of activities.
There's also a restaurant right in the subdivision, and talking about restaurants, there's tons
of restaurants and shopping all around the community.
So you're never going to run out of something to do so.
Diana Benson: The next 55-plus community in Arizona is Southwest
in a suburb of Chandler at McQueen and Riggs Roads.
It's in the gated community of Solera at Springfield Lakes.
It's really close to the I-10 freeway, to the 202 freeway.
It's close to the casinos and it's only 18 miles from the airport as the crow flies.
Diana Benson: There's so much to offer.
It has a clubhouse.
It has pool, tennis, shuffleboard.
It's got tons of activities.
And of course, it's built around an 18-hole golf course.
Now, there's a large variety of homes that were built from 1997 to 2005.
They range in size from 1,060 square feet to 3,115 square feet, and prices range from
$235,000 to $495,000.
Diana Benson: Lastly, we'll talk about the newest 55-plus
living community.
We're going to travel east this time, right on the border of Gilbert and Mesa.
This community is called Eastmark.
It's located about three miles east of the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport and ASU East.
It's about two miles east of the 202 freeway.
And this is a hot community.
So much as being built out here.
In fact, there's going to be a tech corridor where all the large corporations are moving,
so there'll be plenty of employment.
The restaurants, shopping is being built.
Diana Benson: Now, this is a 3,200 acre community, a master
plan community.
And it consists of both traditional neighborhoods and a 55-plus living community.
They have separate facilities, each having their own clubhouse, pool, spa, billiard room.
And then the [inaudible 00:04:04] also has tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard, and all
the different activities.
There's even a cute restaurant in the community where you can walk up or bicycle up and even
a garden of fresh, organic vegetables that you can have anytime.
Now, the homes in Eastmark range from 1,650 square feet to 3,205 square feet, and they
range in price from $315,000 to $700,000.
