Sun Lakes Arizona Homes & Real Estate
Homes in Sun Lakes Arizona were built over a 30-year time period. As a result, home styles and prices vary dramatically. Some buyers prefer reasonably priced older homes while other buyers opt for more newly constructed homes that feature modern floor plans and desirable upgrades. Home buyers can choose from a wide assortment of single-family and attached villas that range from 1,000 to 3,500 square feet. Not including manufactured homes there are several dozen floor plans available. Many of these floor plans offer several different configurations which make the number of floor plan choices almost limitless. Association fees vary by neighborhood and most are paid bi-annually. Homeowners who choose to live in an attached Villa enjoy additional exterior maintenance provided by the association and therefore pay an additional condo fee each month. The original phase of the community offers some manufactured housing.
There are five neighborhoods in this community, including Oakwood, Ironwood, Cottonwood, Palo Verde and Sun Lakes Country Club. Each neighborhood has a unique look and feel. The original neighborhood is Sun Lakes Country Club, which is a non-gated community that was started in 1972. After the completion of the Sun Lakes neighborhood, Robson built Cottonwood and then the Palo Verde neighborhoods, which collectively contain 3,809 homes and share the same home owner's association (HOA). Both the non-gated Cottonwood and the gated Palo Verde neighborhoods offer private equity golf courses. The fourth and fifth neighborhoods are Ironwood and Oakwood, respectively. These two neighborhoods are gated and are located north of Riggs Road. They share a common association which is known as IronOaks. Each of these communities offers the newest collection of homes and golf courses that are open to the public.

Sun Lakes Reviews (13)
Average Rating for this Community
I moved here from the midwest in 1993 and was looking for a community that offers a small town feel in a very big city. Sun Lakes offers all that and more.
Tons of amenities, there is reciprocity between 5 subdivisions so you have lots of choices regarding clubhouses, golf courses, swimming pools and much more. Many communities have just one clubhouse, maybe a couple of pools.
Easy access to the airport and major freeways. Like I tell people "We are close, but not too close." Hop on 101 and be in Scottsdale in less than a half hour.
Everything you need for day to day shopping is right here and lots of additional shopping and restaurants very close, to include Chander Fashion Square Mall less than 10 minutes away.
It doesn't get any better, been here for 20 years and no regrets!
