Twelve lighted pickleball courts. A 9-hole putting course. RV garages. And Lennar is still building — which means a brand-new home is still on the table.
Heritage at Asante — you’ll also see it called Asante Heritage, which is Lennar’s name for it — is a gated 55+ active adult community in Surprise. Lennar started building in 2020 and is planning about 1,500 homes.
It’s one of the newest communities we sell in, and it does a few things unusually well. Let’s go through them.
Twelve lighted pickleball courts
Start here, because it’s the number that matters.
Twelve. Lighted. Plus three lighted bocce courts.
To put that in perspective: Arizona Traditions has six pickleball courts. Trilogy at Vistancia has four. Heritage at Asante has twelve in a community of 1,500 homes — and there’s an active, organized pickleball club behind them.
If pickleball is a real part of why you’re moving to a 55+ community, this is one of the strongest setups in the West Valley for the size of the place. Lighted matters too — it means you can play in the evening once it warms up, instead of fighting for a 7 a.m. court in June.
We haven’t found tennis courts at Heritage at Asante. If tennis matters to you, ask us and we’ll confirm with the association rather than guess.
The clubhouse, the pool & Heritage Links
The Heritage Clubhouse
14,000 square feet, and genuinely beautiful. Multipurpose gathering spaces, and the social hub of the community.
The fitness center
2,200 square feet inside the clubhouse. Solid, well-equipped, and it does the job. Not a resort spa — but you won’t be waiting for a treadmill.
The pool
A resort-style outdoor pool and spa, with a patio and a fire pit. Nice place to end a day.
Heritage Links
A 9-hole putting course. Not a golf course — a proper, well-kept putting course, and it’s more fun than it has any right to be.
One honest note about golf. Heritage Links is a putting course, not an 18-hole track. There is no golf course inside this community. If golf is central to your retirement, you’d want to look at Sun City West (seven courses) or The Grand (four) — both of which happen to be very close by. But if you’d rather have twelve pickleball courts than a golf course you’d play twice a month, this is a trade a lot of buyers would make on purpose.

Single-Family Homes Gemini Twin Homes👀 Watching for the right home?
Four collections, 13 floor plans, and a mix of new construction and resales. The RV-garage homes are rare, and the Gemini twins move quickly.
Tell us what matters — an RV garage, a Gemini twin with a fenced yard, a specific plan, your budget — and we’ll reach out the moment a match comes up, on the resale market or from the builder. Tell Us What You’re Looking For
The homes — and three things worth knowing
Lennar builds 13 floor plans across four collections, roughly 1,238 to 2,584 square feet, two to four bedrooms. There are single-family homes and attached Gemini twin homes.
1. The Gemini twin homes are better than the name suggests
“Twin home” makes people picture an apartment. It isn’t. A Gemini twin is two homes side by side, sharing one common wall in the middle. That’s it. One neighbor, one wall.
And here’s the part that sells them: they come with their own fenced-in backyard. Your own yard, fenced, private. If you’re right-sizing and you want less house and less upkeep but you are not ready to give up a back yard — and if you have a dog, you’re absolutely not — this is a genuinely good answer. They’re roughly 1,238 to 1,459 square feet, single-level, with a two-car garage.
2. There are RV garages — but not many
Some plans in the Encore II and Freedom II collections come with RV-sized garages. If you’ve got a motorhome, a boat, a trailer, or a workshop’s worth of tools, that’s a hard thing to find in a 55+ community and it’s worth chasing.
But there aren’t many of them. If an RV garage is a must-have, tell us now and let us watch for one — new or resale — rather than hoping one turns up while you’re browsing.
3. The Next Gen suite — and what it’s actually for
Lennar builds their Next Gen® “Home Within a Home” design here: a private suite with its own separate entrance, its own living area, and a kitchenette.
In a 55+ community, that raises an obvious question, so let’s answer it plainly. A Next Gen suite is genuinely useful — for a caregiver, for an adult child helping out for a stretch, for family who come and stay for a month rather than a weekend, or simply for a guest space that doesn’t put anyone on a sofa bed.
But permanent occupancy is still governed by the community’s age rules. A separate entrance doesn’t create an exception. If you’re considering a Next Gen home because you’re thinking about who might live in it long term, call us before you buy — we’ll get the association’s actual rules in writing, so you know exactly where you stand rather than finding out later.
Ask Us About the Next Gen Rules
Fees (2026)
| Home type | Monthly HOA | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single-family home | $205 / month | One fee |
| Gemini twin / townhome | $254 / month | One fee — the extra ~$49/mo is for exterior maintenance |
Two things about that, and the second one matters more
First, the good news. The $254 townhome fee is not on top of the $205 — it replaces it. You pay one fee, not two. Many communities stack them: a monthly townhome fee plus a separate annual or quarterly community fee on top. Heritage at Asante doesn’t. That’s a genuine simplification.
The extra roughly $49 a month is what the townhome pays for exterior maintenance.
Now the part that actually costs people money
Never assume you know what an HOA fee covers. Not here. Not anywhere.
We have seen fees at this level cover wildly different things from one community — and one sub-association — to the next:
- Some include water, sewer, and garbage. Some don’t.
- Some cover roof repair — or even roof replacement. Some cover neither.
- Some only maintain the front yard and the exterior paint, and everything else is yours.
Two townhomes at the same monthly fee can be a completely different deal once you find out who buys the roof. Whenever there’s a townhome or a sub-association involved, we verify exactly what the fee covers on that specific property — every single time. It takes one phone call. Skipping it can cost you a roof.
Ask Us What the Fee Actually Covers
At closing
| Fee | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Capital improvement fee | $1,524 | One-time |
| Transfer fee | $400 | One-time |
| Total at closing | $1,924 | On top of down payment & closing costs |
There’s also a $400 resale disclosure fee — we’ll confirm who pays it at contract.
$1,924 is low. For comparison, Corte Bella runs about $4,415 at closing and Sterling Grove about $8,837. If getting in the door affordably matters to you, that’s worth noticing.
Fees are current for 2026 as provided and subject to change — we confirm every figure with the association before you commit.
About the railroad tracks
There are railroad tracks along the south end of the community. You should know that, and now you do.
We’re not going to make a meal of it. Some homes are closer than others. Some buyers won’t notice; some will. What we will do is walk the specific lot with you and let you hear it for yourself, because that’s the only test that means anything.
A word from Jarl, since we’re being honest
The first house my wife and I ever bought backed up to railroad tracks. It had power lines behind it too.
It was the only thing we could afford.
We lived there ten years. And I’ll tell you what I tell every buyer sitting across from me now: a lot backing tracks, or power lines, or a busier road isn’t a defect. It’s a price. And sometimes that price is exactly how a good family gets into a community they love but couldn’t otherwise touch — particularly when the market is slow. Some buyers pick the house. Some pick the community. Most want both, and that always costs more. There’s no shame in any of it. My job is to show you the whole range and help you decide what actually matters to you — not to tell you what should.
Not 55 yet? There may be a door open.
Federal housing-for-older-persons law lets an age-restricted community keep a limited share of its homes occupied by residents under 55, and builders use that room. While Lennar is still building here, they can generally sell a new home to buyers as young as 45.
After a community is fully built out, it’s the community’s own decision whether to keep allowing a percentage of under-55 residents. Most keep that option. Some don’t. It’s never automatic, and the exact percentage varies from community to community.
Don’t guess at it. The policy belongs to the builder and the association, not to us, and it changes. Call us and we’ll find out exactly where Heritage at Asante stands right now — in writing, before you write an offer rather than after. Getting this sorted early matters: it’s the kind of thing that can cost you your earnest money if it surfaces after your deadlines have passed.
Age rules follow federal housing-for-older-persons law and the community’s recorded CC&Rs. Builder age policies vary and change without notice. Confirm current rules with the builder and the association before you buy.
Buying new from Lennar? Talk to us first.
Lennar is still building at Heritage at Asante, so a brand-new home is genuinely on the table. But here’s something a lot of buyers don’t realize: you can — and should — have your own agent when you buy new construction. The friendly agent in the Lennar sales office represents Lennar, and their job is to get the best deal for the builder. Ours is the opposite — to get the best deal for you.
On new-home purchases, the builder typically has buyer-agent representation built into their program. We’ll walk you through exactly how that works — in writing — before you commit to anything.
What we do in your corner:
- Negotiate price, upgrades, lot premiums, and closing timelines — and with the tracks on the south end, lot selection genuinely matters here.
- Spot and negotiate builder incentives — rate buydowns, closing-cost credits, design-center dollars.
- Read the builder’s contract closely and protect your interests.
- Chase down the rare plans — an RV garage, a Next Gen suite — instead of waiting for one to appear.
- Compare the new build honestly against the resales here. Landscaping, window coverings, and appliances usually aren’t in a base price, and they add up fast.
- Track the build and keep the builder accountable, right through closing day.
One rule worth remembering: reach out before you step into the sales office. Many builders require your agent to register with you on that first visit for us to represent you — so a quick call first protects your right to have us on your side. Once you’ve walked in alone, that door can close.
Location — and the area is coming along
Heritage at Asante sits inside the larger Asante master plan in Surprise, roughly 40 miles northwest of downtown Phoenix.
The honest picture: this area is still growing up, and that’s been the knock on it. But it’s changing.
- A new Fry’s grocery store went in a few years back, with other shopping around it. The everyday stuff is handled.
- You’re close to Sun City West and The Grand — which means the restaurants, medical care, and services that grew up around two enormous, long-established communities are right there. You get the benefit of their infrastructure without paying their prices.
- And it keeps filling in. Surprise is growing fast, and this corner of it is getting easier to live in every year.
Is Heritage at Asante right for you?
A great fit if you…
- Play pickleball. Twelve lighted courts and a real club. This is the headline.
- Want a brand-new home — Lennar is still building.
- Want a Gemini twin with your own fenced yard. One shared wall, one neighbor, and a yard for the dog.
- Have an RV, a boat, or a workshop — the RV garages are rare and worth chasing.
- Want low fees — $205 a month, and under $2,000 at closing.
- Need a guest or caregiver suite — the Next Gen plans are unusual and useful.
Worth knowing before you buy…
- No golf course — a 9-hole putting course. Real golf is minutes away at Sun City West or The Grand.
- Railroad tracks along the south end. Walk the lot and listen. Some homes are far from it; some aren’t.
- The area is still filling in. Better every year, but not Scottsdale.
- Still building — expect construction activity while Lennar finishes.
- RV-garage and Next Gen plans are scarce. Don’t assume you’ll stumble onto one.
If any of that gives you pause, let’s talk it through. Sometimes a different community is the better fit — and we’d rather point you to the right home than the nearest one.
Comparing nearby communities?
- The Grand — also Surprise, much larger, four golf courses and three activity centers.
- Sun City West — seven golf courses, four rec centers, and outstanding value.
- Arizona Traditions — Surprise, guard gated and close-knit, with a private sports bar.
- Sterling Grove — Surprise, Toll Brothers luxury with a Nicklaus course. Also still building, and far more expensive to enter.
- Sun Village — Surprise, guard gated, and you can walk to spring training.

Is it “Heritage at Asante” or “Asante Heritage”?
Both. Asante Heritage is Lennar’s name for it; you’ll see Heritage at Asante used just as often. Same community, in Surprise, inside the larger Asante master plan.
How many pickleball courts are there?
Twelve, and they’re lighted — plus three lighted bocce courts, with an active pickleball club behind them. For a community of 1,500 homes that’s one of the strongest setups in the West Valley. Lighted matters: you can play in the evening instead of fighting for a 7 a.m. court in June.
Is there a golf course?
No. There’s Heritage Links, a 9-hole putting course — genuinely nice, but not an 18-hole track. If golf is central to your retirement, Sun City West has seven courses and The Grand has four, and both are close by. If you’d rather have twelve pickleball courts than a course you’d play twice a month, that’s a trade plenty of buyers make on purpose.
What’s a Gemini twin home?
Two homes side by side, sharing one common wall in the middle. One neighbor, one wall — not an apartment building. Roughly 1,238 to 1,459 sq ft, single-level, with a two-car garage. And they come with their own fenced backyard, which is the part that sells them. If you want less house and less upkeep but you’re not ready to give up a yard — especially with a dog — these are worth a serious look.
What are the HOA fees?
$205 a month for a single-family home. $254 a month for a Gemini twin or townhome. Important: the $254 is not on top of the $205 — it replaces it. One fee, not two. Many communities stack a townhome fee on top of an annual or quarterly community fee; this one doesn’t. The extra roughly $49/month is for exterior maintenance. At closing there’s a $1,524 capital improvement fee and a $400 transfer fee — about $1,924, which is low.
What does the townhome fee actually cover?
Never assume — and this is where buyers get hurt. Fees at a similar level cover wildly different things from one community, and one sub-association, to the next. Some include water, sewer, and garbage. Some cover roof repair, or even roof replacement. Some only maintain the front yard and the exterior paint, and everything else is yours. Two townhomes at the same monthly fee can be completely different deals once you learn who buys the roof. Whenever a townhome or sub-association is involved, we verify exactly what the fee covers on that specific property — every time. It’s one phone call, and skipping it can cost you a roof.
Can I get a home with an RV garage?
Yes — select plans in the Encore II and Freedom II collections have RV-sized garages. But there aren’t many. If an RV garage is a must-have, tell us and we’ll hunt for one, new or resale, rather than leaving it to chance.
What is the Next Gen suite, and can someone live in it?
Lennar’s Next Gen® design is a private suite with its own entrance, living area, and kitchenette — excellent for a caregiver, an adult child helping for a stretch, or family who visit for a month rather than a weekend. But permanent occupancy is still governed by the community’s age rules. A separate entrance doesn’t create an exception. If you’re buying with someone’s long-term living arrangement in mind, call us and we’ll get the association’s actual rules in writing first.
What about the railroad tracks?
There are tracks along the south end of the community. Some homes are close; many aren’t. We’ll walk the specific lot with you and let you hear it for yourself — that’s the only test that means anything. And if a lot nearer the tracks is what gets you into a community you love at a price you can manage, there’s nothing wrong with that. Jarl’s first house backed railroad tracks and power lines. He lived there ten years.
Is Heritage at Asante gated?
Yes — it’s a gated community. There’s a gate, though not a 24/7 staffed guard house. If a manned guard gate is important to you, tell us and we’ll show you communities that have one.
Can I still buy a brand-new home here?
Yes — Lennar is still building, with about 1,500 homes planned and 13 floor plans across four collections. Talk to us before you visit the sales office; that’s what protects your right to have your own representation, and it’s how we get you the scarce plans.
