Age rules
Camino del Rey 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 Camino del Rey
Camino del Rey is made up of 120 townhomes — low-maintenance by design and easy to live in. Because they were built between 1984 and 1999, condition and updates vary from home to home. Some have been nicely remodeled; others are more original and priced accordingly. For a budget-minded buyer, that’s 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 established townhome? Roofs, cooling, plumbing, and electrical all deserve a close look in a home this age. That’s what the inspection period is for — and it’s where having us on your side pays off. We’ll help you know what you’re really buying.
Amenities & daily life
Camino del Rey is a small community, so the amenities are simple and easygoing. At its center is a heated community pool — a great spot to relax and get to know your neighbors year-round. The scale here is intentionally low-key: no crowds, no fuss. And with east Mesa’s shopping, dining, and public golf close by, there’s plenty to do just beyond the community.
