Leisure World
Leisure World in Mesa turned out to be a hidden gem, from its stunning Superstition Mountain views to the two golf courses. My friend’s client loved the sauna and pickleball courts, which convinced me to explore the 55+ lifestyle here. The on-site wellness center is fantastic. We truly LOVE our new home!
A follow up to my review from 18 months ago. There have been major changes in the landscape department and Leisure World is looking beautiful once again.
We purchased our home in Leisure World 3 years ago. The community is beautiful and well maintained. It is safe and friendly with amenities for everyone. The HOA fees are less in the desert areas of the community and higher in the grassy areas. Agreeably the grassy area HOA fees are quite high, however the yards/trees/grass are all well maintained. This HOA fee also covers painting of your home every 5 years or so and Insurance for rebuilding from studs out. We have friends who have also purchased homes in Leisure World in the last few years and are completely happy. I would not hesitate to recommend this community to others.
Bought a home in Leisure world 10 years ago when the place was beautiful and the HOA fee was reasonable. Now it is looking rundown and the HOA fee has climbed to $470/mo. Much of this fee is for the landscaping dept. which is a joke. I’m looking outside of Leisure World to purchase a home where I can do my own yard work and pocket the difference.
Leisure World is beautiful. It is well cared for. the residents are friendly and helpful. There are activities for every possible interest.
