Why Sunland Springs Village Is One of East Mesa’s Best 55+ Communities

If you’re dreaming of resort-style retirement in Arizona, few places deliver like Sunland Springs Village. Here’s a closer look at what makes this East Mesa community a favorite among downsizers, golfers, and snowbirds alike.

Championship Golf and a Waterfall Worth the View

At the heart of Sunland Springs is 27 holes of championship golf. But here’s the detail photos don’t prepare you for: a beautiful waterfall right on the course. It’s one of the most photographed spots in the community, perfect for family visits, special occasions, or simply a stunning backdrop on your morning walk.

Front and Back Patios, Because Lifestyle Matters

Not every community offers this, but at Sunland Springs, most homes have both a front and a back patio. Love your morning coffee out front, waving to neighbors? You’ll feel right at home. Want private space to unwind in the evening? That’s what the back patio is for. It’s the little things that make daily living feel special.

Resort Amenities Without the Resort Price

Two resort-style pools, a spa, tennis, pickleball, softball, a full fitness center, a ballroom, a performance theater, a woodworking shop, a pet park, and dozens of chartered clubs. All with some of the lowest HOA fees in Mesa. This is active adult living at its best.

Homes to Fit Your Next Chapter

From golf condos in the low $300s to single-family homes and golf-course lots in the $400s and $500s, Sunland Springs has options for downsizers, snowbirds, and investors. Sizes range from cozy and low-maintenance to spacious, many with golf course or Superstition Mountain views.
