Where Velda Rose Estates sits
Velda Rose Estates is in east Mesa, close to everyday shopping, restaurants, and medical care, with easy access to US 60 and the rest of the Valley.

It’s a settled, convenient location where the essentials are all close by.
Age rules
Velda Rose Estates is an age-restricted 55+ community. As with most 55+ communities, the exact rules on who can live there — and any limited allowance for younger residents — are set in the community’s governing documents. Rules like these can change, and they aren’t always easy to find. Before you buy, we’ll confirm the current age rules for you so there are no surprises.
Homes at Velda Rose Estates
Velda Rose Estates offers a nice range: mostly single-family homes, with some manufactured homes and attached homes in the mix, built between 1962 and 1987. Because the community has been around a while, condition and updates vary a lot from home to home. Some are beautifully remodeled; many are more original and priced accordingly. For a budget-minded buyer, that range is opportunity. We’ll help you tell the well-kept homes from the ones that need work, and pull the details on anything you like.
Buying an older home? Roofs, cooling, plumbing, and electrical all deserve a close look in a home this age — and if a home is manufactured, its age, setup, and title are worth checking too. That’s what the inspection period is for, and it’s where having us on your side pays off.
Septic to know about: some older homes here are still on a septic system (like nearby Dreamland Villa). When a septic system fails, that home has to connect to city sewer — a real cost worth checking before you buy. We look at this during the inspection period.
A note on pets: single-family homes here are pet-friendly. Attached homes (condos or patio homes) can have their own pet rules, so if pets matter to you and you’re looking at an attached home, let us verify the pet policy on that specific unit first.
Amenities & daily life
Life at Velda Rose Estates centers on the Colby Clubhouse, a large facility that hosts:
- A swimming pool and spa.
- Community dinners, breakfasts, and potlucks.
- Movie nights and TV sporting events.
- Shuffleboard courts.
- Meeting and gathering space for clubs and events.
The feel is warm and social, on an easy, low-key scale. There’s enough going on to stay connected, without the crowds of a mega-community.
HOA & fees (2026)
Here are the current 2026 figures. The single-family HOA fee is refreshingly low.

|---|---|---|
| Annual HOA fee | $220 | Single-family homes — common areas & rec center |
| Monthly fee (condos/patio homes only) | Varies | Applies only to certain condo/patio homes — confirm per home |
| Resale disclosure fee | $400 | Seller’s responsibility |
| Transfer fee (one-time) | $1,000 | One-time at purchase — we’ll confirm the current amount |
Good to know: Fees can change through the Association, and what’s covered can vary by home — especially for attached homes with a monthly fee. We’ll confirm the current numbers, including the transfer fee, for the specific home before you buy.
Is Velda Rose Estates right for you?
A great fit if you…
- Want an affordable 55+ home with a very low HOA.
- Like a real clubhouse and a friendly, social community.
- Are open to an older home that may need some updating, for the value.
- Prefer an established, convenient east-Mesa location.
Worth knowing before you buy…
- These are older homes; condition varies widely, so inspect closely.
- Some homes are manufactured — check age, setup, and title carefully.
- Some older homes are still on septic — a failed system means a sewer hookup.
- There’s no golf inside; nearby public courses are a short drive.
- Attached homes carry a monthly fee; confirm it and the pet policy per home.
None of these are dealbreakers — they’re the honest trade-offs of an affordable, established community. Tell us what matters most and we’ll help you find the right home.
