The Springfield Chandler market right now
Naturally, buyers always ask us the same first question: is anything selling? So here’s the latest picture from the Arizona Regional MLS. Because only a handful of homes change hands here each season, we refresh these numbers every quarter.
At last check, there were only three Springfield homes for sale, with asking prices from about $475,000 to $530,000. Generally, homes here were built from about 1997 to 2000, and most of the recent sales were two-bedroom homes of about 1,070 to 1,680 square feet. For that reason, with so few listings, the right home can go fast, so it pays to be ready. Ranges shift as the market changes, so call or text (480) 710-6326 to verify today’s numbers. You can also compare every community on our Arizona 55+ market update.
Springfield, Chandler: gated and built to last
Springfield is a gated community, so visitors don’t just drive in. As a result, among Chandler’s 55+ communities, it sits in the gated group alongside SunBird and Solera. Gate setups can change, though, so we’ll confirm exactly how entry works today, including whether a guard is on duty, before you buy.
Then pair that with Del Webb’s build quality and a community that’s had 25-plus years to mature its landscaping and settle in. As a result, you get a place that feels truly established rather than brand-new.
Springfield golf: an executive course inside the gates
Springfield is built around its own 18-hole executive golf course. In other words, it’s a shorter, walkable layout that’s ideal for the way a lot of active adults actually like to play: a real round without a five-hour commitment. Also, golf-course homes are their own search, so if you want a fairway view out back, use the golf course homes link above. To compare courses across the Valley, see our golf course homes guide.
A golf community, and the course isn’t the HOA’s
Springfield sits alongside the Springfield Golf Resort, which is separately owned. That means golf play and fees are separate from your HOA dues, and course-side homes carry the usual errant-golf-ball disclaimer. In fact, it’s quieter than the nearby Sun Lakes clubs. Of course, we’ll confirm current golf access, rates, and passes if golf matters to you.
Pickleball and the clubhouse
Pickleball and the other rec courts here are community amenities, not part of the golf course. However, we don’t publish a court count until we’ve confirmed it with the association, so ask us and we’ll get the current setup for you. Meanwhile, you can see how other communities stack up on our Arizona 55+ pickleball communities hub.

Single-Family Golf CourseSpringfield homes in Chandler
Overall, Springfield is single-family Del Webb homes: single-level, active-adult floor plans built for easy living, many on or near the course. Because the community dates from the late 1990s, the homes are established and often nicely updated. So the key with any resale here is the mechanicals and how well the home has been kept up, which is exactly what we go through with you before you offer. That’s true of all the Springfield homes for sale we show, updated or not.

Springfield Chandler HOA fees (2026)
| Fee | 2026 amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| HOA (semi-annual) | $1,248 × 2 = $2,496/yr | About $208/month, includes the gate |
| Capital improvement fee | $1,872 | One-time, at closing |
| Transfer fee | $200 | One-time, at closing |
| Disclosure fee | $400 | One-time (seller pays) |
In other words, a buyer should plan on about $2,072 at closing, on top of the down payment and normal closing costs. For that, the HOA carries the gate and the community’s amenities. Also, it’s all single-family, so there’s no separate attached-home fee to sort out. Still, we confirm every figure with the association before you commit, on every one of the Springfield homes for sale we show. To see how these fees stack up, check our Arizona 55+ HOA fees comparison.
Fees are current for 2026 as provided and subject to change.
The recorded rules that shape daily life at Springfield in Chandler
First of all, we read Springfield’s recorded CC&Rs so you know what you’re buying into in this gated golf community.
| Rule | What the recorded CC&Rs say |
|---|---|
| Age | A 55+ community (80% floor) with a flexible co-resident floor of just 18. So a qualifying 55+ occupant plus a younger partner works fine. No permanent residents under 18. |
| Grandkids visiting | Under-18 guests may visit up to 3 weeks at a stretch and 30 days a calendar year. |
| Parking & RVs | Garage-first: the driveway is overflow only, for cars under 7 ft tall and 19 ft long. No owner street parking. RVs get 48 hours to clean and load; guests may park up to 72 hours on the street. |
| Leasing | Whole home only; tenants must meet the age rules. No minimum term is stated in the recorded CC&Rs, so we confirm the current rule with the association. |
| Exterior changes | Governed by the association’s design rules; garages must stay usable for parking. |
These age rules also follow federal housing-for-older-persons law. However, rules can change, so we pull the current CC&Rs and rules for the exact home before you buy.
Is Springfield the right Chandler retirement community for you?
A great fit if you…
- Want a gated community and Del Webb build quality.
- Like an established, mature community over a brand-new one.
- Enjoy an executive course: golf without the all-day commitment.
- Want a top Chandler / East Valley location.
Worth knowing before you buy…
- Established homes (late 1990s), so check the mechanicals on resales.
- It’s an executive course, not a full championship layout: a plus for many, a note for serious golfers.
- Also, it’s single-family only, with no attached or lock-and-leave option here.
- Very few listings at a time, so be ready to move when the right one comes up.
