Verde Groves is a gated community of 210 homes built between 1999 and 2004, and it’s the community I point to when clients want 55+ living on a smaller, quieter scale rather than one of Mesa’s sprawling master-planned neighborhoods. Its size is really the point — a tight, self-contained community rather than a small section of something much bigger.
The 10,000-square-foot clubhouse covers the basics well: a fitness room, card room, ceramics and arts and crafts studios, a small ballroom, library, and billiards. Outside, two heated pools — including a dedicated lap pool — a spa, and a BBQ area give residents room to relax, and walking trails wind through the neighborhood. It also sits close to the Superstition Gateway shopping plaza, so errands stay quick without needing to leave the area.
If a smaller, quieter community appeals to you more than golf courses and big activity calendars, Verde Groves is worth a look. I can pull current listings and HOA numbers and set up a time to walk it with you.
