Community Overview

Province is a gated 55+ community of 2,217 single-family and attached homes in Maricopa, Arizona, developed by Meritage Homes beginning in 2004 and still offering some new construction alongside resale inventory. Located 38 miles south of downtown Phoenix, the community trades some commute distance for significantly more land and a distinct sense of space: more than 30% of the development is dedicated to parks and open areas, 50 acres support scenic lakes and waterways (all stocked for catch-and-release fishing), and 125 acres of parks and natural space weave through the community. Prices run from the high $200,000s to the high $600,000s, with an average near $399,000. The 32,000-square-foot clubhouse is one of the most thoroughly equipped in this price range in Arizona, housing a fitness center, an indoor pool, a resort-style outdoor pool, a café, a ballroom, a library, billiards, a card room, a computer lab, a conference room, aerobics and dance studios, a sewing studio, and a ceramics studio. Outdoor amenities include tennis, bocce, shuffleboard, basketball, and pickleball courts, horseshoe pits, an 18-hole putting green, an amphitheater, and walking and biking trails throughout the property. The HOA handles common area maintenance and landscaping, removing ongoing exterior upkeep from residents' plates. Mountainbrook Village Province Homes are built with water-efficient and energy-efficient features throughout — a practical consideration given the desert climate. Some single-family models include private outdoor pools. The ten model collections give buyers a range of square footage and configuration options, and homes are generally more affordable than comparable properties in Phoenix's core suburbs. Province's club calendar includes golf, bridge, bunco, canasta, pinochle, poker, a craft group, an antique car club (Wheel Crazy), a book club, an aviation group, hiking, ceramics, oil painting, the Red Hat Society, and mahjong. Banner Health and Chandler Regional Medical Center provide nearby healthcare, and Ak-Chin Southern Dunes and The Duke at Rancho El Dorado are within short driving distance for golfers who want variety.
