55+ Community

Fountain of the Sun Homes for Sale

Fountain of the Sun is a gated community with around 2,296 homes, built mainly between 1975 and 1987, and it’s one of the more affordable entry points into 55+ living in Mesa that I show clients. It’s also more varied than people expect — the community includes single-family homes, townhomes, patio homes, and manufactured residences, so there’s a real range of price points and home styles within the gates rather than one uniform product.

Homes here have generally run from around $100,000 to $400,000, which puts it meaningfully below some of the higher-end, golf-centered communities in the area while still offering the gated security and structured lifestyle a lot of buyers are looking for. It tends to be a good fit for buyers who want to be in a 55+ community without stretching their budget to do it.

Because the mix of home types varies so much here, I’d really want to understand what you’re picturing, manufactured versus site-built makes a real difference in financing and long-term value, before pulling listings. Reach out and we can narrow it down together.
