Why Buyers Choose Encore at Eastmark

• One of Arizona's newest 55+ communities with contemporary home designs.

• Boutique community with resort-style amenities.

• Access to the award-winning Eastmark master-planned community.

Community Overview

Encore at Eastmark is one of the newest additions to Arizona's active adult market, offering a fresh approach to 55+ living in one of the fastest-growing areas of Mesa. Rather than trying to compete on size alone, Encore focuses on modern homes, thoughtfully designed amenities, and an ideal location that puts residents close to everything they need.

One of the community's biggest advantages is its connection to Eastmark, one of the Phoenix area's most highly regarded master-planned communities. While Encore residents enjoy amenities designed specifically for active adults, they're also surrounded by parks, walking paths, community events, restaurants, and everyday conveniences that give the neighborhood an energy that's different from many traditional retirement communities.

The homes are another major draw. Buyers looking for open floor plans, energy-efficient construction, and contemporary finishes often find exactly what they're searching for at Encore. Instead of purchasing an older home and planning renovations, many residents are able to move in and immediately begin enjoying their retirement.

If you're searching for a community that combines modern living, an outstanding East Valley location, and a more intimate neighborhood atmosphere, Encore at Eastmark deserves serious consideration.

Encore at Eastmark enjoys one of the strongest locations in the East Valley. Situated in southeast Mesa near Loop 202, residents have convenient access to Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek, and the growing commercial districts surrounding Eastmark.

Everyday conveniences are just minutes away. Grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, pharmacies, fitness centers, retail shopping, and medical offices continue to expand alongside the rapid growth of the area. Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport is also nearby, making travel especially convenient for seasonal residents.

One of the things buyers appreciate most is that the community feels new without feeling isolated. The surrounding Eastmark development has quickly become one of the Valley's most desirable places to live, bringing new businesses and amenities every year.

Amenities

Encore's private clubhouse was designed to encourage an active lifestyle while maintaining the smaller, more personal atmosphere that many buyers are looking for.

Residents enjoy a resort-style pool, fitness center, pickleball courts, bocce ball, gathering spaces, event lawns, and indoor social areas where clubs and community events are held throughout the year. The amenities provide plenty of opportunities to stay active without the crowds often associated with much larger communities.

Fitness classes, social events, educational programs, card groups, hobby clubs, and seasonal celebrations help residents connect with one another soon after moving in.

In addition to Encore's amenities, homeowners also benefit from the parks, trails, community events, and recreational opportunities available throughout the larger Eastmark master-planned community.

Golf

Encore at Eastmark doesn't have its own golf course, but golfers have numerous excellent options nearby.

Residents are within easy driving distance of several highly regarded public and private golf courses throughout Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, and Queen Creek. This flexibility appeals to buyers who enjoy golfing regularly but don't necessarily want to pay for maintaining a golf course within their own community.

For many retirees, having several quality courses nearby provides more variety than living in a single golf community.

Homes

The homes at Encore reflect what many of today's buyers are searching for—modern layouts, energy efficiency, and low-maintenance living. Floor plans generally range from approximately 1,300 square feet to over 2,800 square feet and feature open living spaces, large kitchen islands, spacious primary suites, covered patios, and contemporary architectural styling. Because the community is so new, buyers can expect homes that meet current building standards while requiring very little immediate maintenance or updating.

Nearby Shopping & Dining

Shopping and dining continue to expand rapidly around Eastmark. Residents have easy access to grocery stores, locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, retail centers, entertainment venues, and the growing business districts throughout Mesa, Gilbert, and Queen Creek. The combination of newer development and excellent freeway access makes everyday errands especially convenient.

Healthcare

Encore residents are close to Banner Gateway Medical Center, Mercy Gilbert Medical Center, numerous specialty physicians, outpatient facilities, urgent care clinics, and primary care providers throughout the Southeast Valley.

As the Eastmark area continues to grow, additional healthcare services continue to open nearby.
