Province

Why Buyers Choose Province

• Beautiful lakes and walking trails throughout the community.

• Newer homes with modern floor plans and low-maintenance living.

• One of Arizona's most scenic active adult communities.

• Quiet Maricopa location with room to grow.

Community Overview

Province offers a retirement lifestyle that's unlike almost any other 55+ community in Arizona. Located in Maricopa, this gated active adult community was thoughtfully designed around lakes, parks, walking trails, and open green space rather than simply rows of homes. The result is a peaceful setting where residents can enjoy beautiful scenery every day while still having access to resort-style amenities and an active social calendar.

One of the first things buyers notice when they visit Province is how different it feels from many desert communities. Water features, mature landscaping, and tree-lined walking paths create an atmosphere that's surprisingly tranquil. Instead of looking out across miles of desert, many homeowners enjoy views of lakes, fountains, and beautifully landscaped common areas that give the neighborhood a distinctly different personality.

Province also appeals to buyers who want a newer home without paying the premium prices often found in Scottsdale or parts of the East Valley. The homes feature contemporary layouts and low-maintenance designs that allow residents to spend more time enjoying retirement and less time worrying about upkeep.

If your ideal retirement includes peaceful surroundings, beautiful walking paths, and an active lifestyle that doesn't feel rushed, Province is a community that deserves your attention.

Location

Province is located in the City of Maricopa, approximately 35 miles south of Downtown Phoenix. While it's farther from the center of the Valley than many active adult communities, buyers who choose Province typically do so because they appreciate the quieter atmosphere and less congested surroundings.

Everyday shopping, restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, and medical offices are conveniently located throughout Maricopa, and the city continues to expand with new businesses and services each year. Chandler and the Southeast Valley are also within driving distance for additional shopping, dining, and healthcare.

Many residents find that Province offers a slower pace of life while still providing convenient access to everything they need on a daily basis.

Amenities

The Province clubhouse serves as the heart of community life and reflects the same relaxed atmosphere found throughout the neighborhood.

Residents enjoy a resort-style swimming pool, indoor pool, fitness center, pickleball courts, tennis courts, bocce ball, meeting rooms, library, arts and crafts spaces, and beautifully landscaped gathering areas overlooking the lakes. It's a setting that encourages residents to spend time outdoors while making it easy to meet friends and neighbors.

The social calendar includes fitness classes, educational seminars, hobby groups, concerts, card clubs, travel groups, volunteer opportunities, and seasonal celebrations. Whether you're looking to stay active every day or simply enjoy occasional events, there are plenty of opportunities to participate.

One of the things I like about Province is that the amenities never feel overwhelming. The community strikes a nice balance between offering plenty to do while maintaining the peaceful atmosphere that draws so many buyers here.

Golf

Province isn't centered around golf, and that's actually one of the reasons some buyers choose it.

Golfers have access to several nearby public courses throughout Maricopa and the surrounding area, giving them flexibility without having to live directly on a golf course. Buyers who golf occasionally often appreciate this arrangement because they can play when they want without paying for amenities they rarely use.

For homeowners who don't golf at all, the emphasis on lakes, parks, and walking trails often feels like a better match for the lifestyle they're seeking.

Homes

Province offers a wide selection of modern single-family homes with floor plans designed specifically for active adults.

Most homes feature open-concept layouts, spacious kitchens, large primary suites, covered patios, and low-maintenance landscaping. Floor plans generally range from approximately 1,200 square feet to over 3,200 square feet, providing options for both seasonal and year-round residents.

Many homes overlook lakes, greenbelts, or walking paths, creating a setting that's noticeably different from many traditional Arizona retirement communities.

Lifestyle

Province is ideal for buyers who enjoy staying active while also appreciating quieter surroundings.

Residents spend their mornings walking along the lakes, attending fitness classes, playing pickleball, or meeting neighbors at the clubhouse before relaxing by the pool or participating in one of the community's many clubs.

The community has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy for new residents to become involved, but there's never pressure to fill every day with activities. For many homeowners, that balance is exactly what retirement should feel like.

Nearby Shopping & Dining

Maricopa continues to grow each year, bringing additional grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, retail centers, and professional services closer to Province.

While residents may occasionally travel to Chandler or Gilbert for larger shopping destinations, most everyday errands can be completed close to home.

Healthcare

Province residents have access to primary care physicians, specialty providers, urgent care facilities, and medical offices throughout Maricopa, with additional hospital systems and specialty care available in Chandler, Gilbert, and the Southeast Valley.

Healthcare access continues to improve as the City of Maricopa grows.

Before You Buy

If Province is on your shortlist, I also recommend touring MountainBrook Village and CantaMia.

Choose MountainBrook Village if dramatic mountain views and nearby hiking are among your highest priorities.

Choose CantaMia if you want another peaceful community with newer homes and resort-style amenities in the West Valley.

Touring all three communities will help you decide whether your ideal retirement revolves around lakes, mountains, or overall location.

Trevor's Take

The lakes, walking trails, and beautifully landscaped common areas create an atmosphere that's noticeably different from most Arizona retirement communities. If you enjoy spending time outdoors and appreciate a slower pace of life, Province has a lot to offer.
