Province: A 55+ Buyer’s Guide
A guard-gated 55+ community in Maricopa built around lakes — with genuine lakefront homes, a low-maintenance villa option, and a public championship golf course right across the road.
Province is a guard-gated, age-restricted community in Maricopa, and its signature is water. The community is built around lakes, so unlike most Valley 55+ communities, here you can actually buy a lakefront home — and there’s a public golf course a five-minute drive across the road for the days you want to play.
Built around the water
The lakes are the whole personality of Province. They wind through the community and give it something most Arizona 55+ communities can’t: real waterfront homes. Morning coffee on the water, sunset reflections, a softer, greener feel than the open desert — it’s a different kind of Arizona retirement. Waterfront lots are their own search above, because they’re a distinct (and popular) slice of the market.
Guard gated
Province is guard gated — a guarded entrance with residents through on a transponder and visitors stopped at the gate. In Maricopa, that combination of a guarded gate and a lake setting makes Province stand out.
Golf right across the road
Province doesn’t have a golf course inside the gates — and that’s fine, because there’s a good one right across the road. The Duke at Rancho El Dorado is a public 18-hole championship course less than a five-minute drive away, with generous fairways, desert scenery, and a clubhouse and grill (the Silver Spur) that are open to the public. You get golf on demand without paying for a course inside your HOA.

Single-family, lakefront, and villa homes — updated all day.
Single-Family WaterfrontTwo ways to live here: single-family or villa
Province gives you a choice of lifestyle. Single-family homes are the traditional option — your own yard, your own maintenance. The villas (Gemini twin homes) are side-by-side attached homes built for lock-and-leave living: the villa HOA includes the exterior maintenance, so you can travel, snowbird, or just skip the yard work without a worry. Same community, same lakes, two very different maintenance pictures — and the fees differ accordingly (below).
Fees (2026)
Read the fees by home type — the villa fee is higher because it bundles in exterior maintenance. Don’t compare the two numbers head-to-head without accounting for what each covers.
Single-family homes
| Fee | 2026 amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Master HOA (quarterly) | $874.68 × 4 = $3,498.72/yr | About $291/month |
| Maricopa cable assessment (quarterly) | $54.39 | ~$18/month added on |
| Capital improvement fee | $874.68 | One-time |
| Transfer fee | $400 | One-time |
| Resale disclosure fee | $382 | One-time (seller pays) |
Villas / Gemini twin homes
| Fee | 2026 amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Villa HOA (quarterly) | $1,397.67 × 4 = $5,590.68/yr | About $466/month — includes exterior maintenance + master association |
| Maricopa cable assessment (quarterly) | $54.39 | ~$18/month added on |
| Capital improvement fee | $874.68 | One-time |
| Transfer fee | $400 | One-time |
| Resale disclosure fee | $382 | One-time (seller pays) |
The villa fee looks higher, but it’s buying you a maintenance-free exterior — for a snowbird or frequent traveler, that can be worth every dollar. We’ll help you weigh the two honestly for how you actually plan to live. We confirm every figure with the association before you commit.

Is Province right for you?
A great fit if you…
- Want a lakefront or water-view home — rare in Valley 55+ living.
- Want a guard gate.
- Like the idea of a maintenance-free villa for travel or snowbirding.
- Play golf and like a public course you can walk in to across the road.
Worth knowing before you buy…
- No golf inside the gates — the course is across the road (a plus for the HOA).
- Villa vs. single-family fees differ — compare what each covers.
- Maricopa is south of the main Valley — check the commute to what matters to you.

Does Province really have lakefront homes?
Yes — the community is built around lakes, so genuine waterfront homes are available (they’re their own search on this page). It’s one of the few Valley 55+ communities where you can buy on the water.
Is there a golf course?
Not inside the community, but The Duke at Rancho El Dorado — a public 18-hole championship course — is less than a five-minute drive across the road, with a clubhouse and grill open to the public. You get golf access without paying for a course in your HOA.
What’s the difference between the villas and single-family homes?
Villas (Gemini twin homes) are attached, lock-and-leave homes whose HOA includes exterior maintenance — ideal for travelers and snowbirds. Single-family homes are standalone with their own yard and maintenance. The fees differ because the villa fee bundles in that upkeep.
Is Province guard gated?
Yes — it has a guarded entrance, with residents through on a transponder and visitors stopped at the gate.
