Encore at Eastmark is the newest 55+ community I regularly show clients in Mesa, built from 2015 to the present within the larger Eastmark master-planned development, with around 973 homes so far. If you want modern floor plans, current finishes, and lower near-term maintenance rather than an older, more established property, this is usually where that conversation leads.
Homes here have generally run from around $400,000 to $700,000, reflecting both the newer construction and Eastmark’s broader amenities — trails, parks, and community spaces that extend well beyond the 55+ section itself. It’s a different trade-off than a community like Leisure World or Dreamland Villa, you’re getting new construction and modern design, but a shorter track record and a social scene that’s still being built rather than one with decades of history behind it.
I’ve walked a number of clients through this exact trade-off, new and modern versus established and settled, and there’s no universally right answer, it depends what you’re actually looking for day to day. If Encore at Eastmark is on your list, I can pull current listings and also show you how it compares to some of the more established communities nearby.
