Sunland Springs Village has quietly earned a reputation as one of the East Valley's most desirable active adult communities. Located in east Mesa, it offers an ideal combination of newer homes, outstanding recreational amenities, and an excellent location close to everything retirees need.

Before You Buy

If Sunland Springs Village is on your shortlist, I also recommend touring Leisure World and Encore at Eastmark.

Choose Leisure World if you want a gated community with private golf courses and a larger amenity package.

Choose Encore at Eastmark if you're looking for one of Arizona's newest active adult communities with contemporary home designs and a boutique atmosphere.
