A brand-new, single-story 55+ community by Taylor Morrison with a 15,000-square-foot private club. Here’s what to know before you buy.
Curious about Encore at Eastmark? Reach out any time — we’re glad to help.
Encore at Eastmark is one of the newest 55+ communities in the Valley. Built by Taylor Morrison inside the popular Eastmark master plan in southeast Mesa, it has about 973 single-story homes and a 15,000-square-foot private clubhouse. The builder has finished construction, so it’s now a resale community — which means you can buy a nearly new, modern, energy-efficient home without waiting on a build. If you want the newest homes and a fresh, active-adult lifestyle, this is the one to see.

Why buyers choose Encore at Eastmark
- Among the newest homes in the Valley. Modern layouts, current finishes, and energy efficiency — without the wait of new construction.

- Single-story living. Every home is single-level with ground-level entry — easy and accessible.

Where Encore at Eastmark sits
Encore sits inside Eastmark, one of the Valley’s most popular master-planned communities, in southeast Mesa. That puts you near lots of newer shopping and dining, with quick access to the Loop 202 (Santan) and Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. Downtown Phoenix and Sky Harbor are a longer drive, which is the trade-off for being on the growing southeast edge of the Valley. For buyers who want brand-new surroundings and easy freeway access, the location works well.
The Encore Club & Eastmark amenities
Encore residents get the best of both worlds. First, your own private Encore Club — 15,000 square feet built just for the 55+ community:
- State-of-the-art fitness center and resort-style outdoor pool.
- Tennis and pickleball courts.
- Bocce courts, billiards, and arts & crafts studios.
- A library, café, and locker rooms.
A nice perk worth understanding
Encore is a 55+ enclave inside the all-ages Eastmark master plan, and the amenities work in one direction: Encore residents can enjoy Eastmark’s master amenities (its parks and community features), but Eastmark’s family residents cannot use the private Encore Club. So as an Encore owner, you get both your exclusive club and the wider Eastmark lifestyle. Some access details may involve confirming specifics or fees — we’ll help you sort out exactly what’s included before you buy.
Want family close by?
Here’s a nice option some buyers love: the wider Eastmark community has all-ages homes too. So if you’d like to be near your kids or grandkids — or a family member wants to live minutes away rather than in the 55+ section — they can buy in Eastmark proper. See Eastmark family homes for sale, and we’re glad to help both households at once.
Golf near Encore at Eastmark
Encore is a smaller community and does not have its own golf course. If golf matters to you, the good news is there’s public golf close by. The nearest is Toka Sticks Golf Club in Mesa — an affordable, traditional 18-hole course. A little farther out you’ll find the Trilogy Golf Club at Power Ranch in Gilbert and Augusta Ranch in Mesa. We’re happy to point you to the courses that best fit your game.
Age rules
Encore at Eastmark is an age-restricted 55+ community, even though the surrounding Eastmark master plan is open to all ages. The exact rules on who can live in Encore — and any limited allowance for younger residents — are set in the community’s governing documents. Rules like these can change, so before you buy we’ll confirm the current age rules for you.
Homes at Encore at Eastmark
Every home at Encore is single-story with a ground-level entry, built by Taylor Morrison in a range of modern floor plans. Because it’s one of the Valley’s newest 55+ communities, the homes are modern — up to date, efficient, and largely move-in ready, with many still under or near their builder warranties. Since the builder has sold out, homes now come up for resale, so features and upgrades vary home to home. These are all single-family homes, so they’re pet-friendly. We’ll pull the full details on any home you like.
Buying nearly new? Even newer homes deserve a proper inspection — and it’s worth checking what’s left of any builder or systems warranties. That’s part of what we do for you, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
HOA & fees (2026)
Because Encore sits inside Eastmark, there are two associations — the Encore HOA and the Eastmark master association. Here are the current 2026 figures.
| Fee | 2026 amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Encore HOA (monthly) | $245 | Private Encore Club & common areas |
| Eastmark master association (monthly) | $12 | Access to Eastmark master amenities |
| Transfer fee (one-time) | $250 | Paid at title transfer |
| Encore capital improvement (one-time) | $735 | Paid by the buyer at purchase |
| Eastmark capital improvement (one-time) | Confirm | A separate one-time master fee may apply — we’ll confirm the current amount |
Good to know: Two associations means two monthly dues plus one-time fees at closing. Fees can change through either Association, and what’s covered can vary. We’ll add it all up and confirm the current numbers for the specific home before you buy.
Is Encore at Eastmark right for you?
A great fit if you…
- Want the newest, most modern 55+ home in the Valley.
- Love the idea of a big private club with pickleball, tennis, and a pool.
- Prefer single-story, low-maintenance, move-in-ready living.
- Like being in a fresh, growing master-planned community.
Worth knowing before you buy…
- There’s no golf inside the community — the closest is a short drive away.
- Two associations mean two monthly dues plus one-time fees — budget for both.
- It’s southeast Mesa, so airport and central-Phoenix drives take longer.
- As a newer, sold-out community, well-priced resales can move quickly.
