Sunland Springs Village: A Mesa 55+ Buyer’s Guide
Planning a retirement move to the East Valley? This is the newest of Mesa’s Sunland communities, with newer homes, higher ceilings, a resort-style rec center, and 27 holes of golf right in the neighborhood.
Not the Sunland you meant? Mesa has three separate Sunland communities with very similar names, and this page covers Sunland Springs only. For the original community, see our Sunland Village guide. For its neighbor, see Sunland Village East. Or compare all three Sunland communities side by side.
Sunland Springs Village is a 55+ active adult community in east Mesa. Since it opened in 1997, it has kept building into the 2010s, and it now has about 2,890 homes. So if you want a newer home and the most golf, this is the Sunland to look at first, because it wraps around a 27-hole executive golf facility.
Founder Jarl Kubat has spent 22+ years helping buyers in Arizona 55+ and retirement communities, in the East Valley as well as the West Valley. In fact, Sunland Springs is one we point buyers to when they want newer construction and low dues without leaving Mesa.

The Sunland Springs Village market right now
Naturally, buyers always ask the same first question: what do homes actually sell for here? So here’s the most recent picture we have from the MLS.
📅 As of late October 2026 · single-family homes · refreshed monthly
What homes cost: Over the last 90 days, Sunland Springs Village single-family homes sold from about $365,000 to about $671,000. The average sale was near $536,000 and the middle sale near $530,000, at roughly 97% of list price, about $275 a square foot, and around 79 days on the market. At that time, asking prices ran from about $345,000 to $807,000.
Keep in mind that prices move as homes get reduced and as the market speeds up or slows. So call or text (480) 710-6326 to check today’s numbers. You can also see how Sunland Springs compares with dozens of other communities on our Arizona 55+ market update.
Newer homes, higher ceilings, good value
Because Sunland Springs Village kept building later than the other two Sunlands, many of its homes are newer. For example, the phases built from about 2012 to 2015 are frame construction with 9- to 10-foot ceilings, which gives them a bright, current feel. Pair that with a low annual HOA, and it’s one of the better newer-home values in east Mesa.
Homes here span two eras: earlier block construction and the newer frame-built homes with taller ceilings. That’s worth knowing when you compare listings. In fact, it’s exactly the kind of detail we walk through with you, so you match the right home to what you want.
Sunland Springs Village homes and floor plans
The community has detached single-family homes and single-level garden condos (attached). Almost everything is single-level. Also, the homes go by plan number, and they step up in size from about 1,160 square feet to just over 2,300.
- Most plans are two bedrooms and two baths, often with a den or flex room that can work as a guest room.
- On the other hand, the two largest plans add a true third bedroom.
- Many homes were built with a golf-cart garage, which is handy in a golf community.
- There’s also a golf-course condo plan of about 1,490 square feet.
You can see every model laid out by size, beds, and baths on our Sunland Springs floor plans page. Then tell us the two or three that fit, and we’ll watch for them.
Golf at Sunland Springs Village: 27 holes
The headline amenity is the golf. Sunland Springs Golf Club is a 27-hole executive facility, and at last check it was the only 27-hole course among Mesa’s active adult communities. It plays as three nines: Four Peaks (par 31), San Tan (par 33), and Superstition. In addition, each nine is named for the mountain range you aim at off the first tee.
So you play any two of the three for an 18-hole round, roughly par 64 to 65. Meanwhile, executive-course specialist Jeff Hardin designed the nines with water, bunkers, and mature trees, which gives you more variety than a standard 18. Executive length is a real plus for many active adult golfers, too: a genuine round you can finish in a morning.
Good to know: the course runs as its own golf club, separate from the association. As a result, your HOA dues don’t fund the golf. Instead, green fees and any memberships go through the club, so ask the Sunland Springs Golf Club for current rates and options before you count on them.
Comparing courses? See all three Sunland courses side by side on our Sunland golf courses page.
Pickleball and the rec center
Pickleball players have a dedicated club with 12 outdoor courts, the most of the three Sunlands. In addition, they have permanent nets and lines, and they’re lighted for evening play. Also, the courts belong to the community itself, not to the golf club. See how that stacks up on our Arizona 55+ pickleball communities page.
The rec center, meanwhile, is resort-style. It has a 13,000-square-foot auditorium and ballroom, a resort pool plus a lap pool and spa, a fitness center, tennis and bocce, and a card room, library, and woodworking shop. In other words, there’s plenty to do here even if you never pick up a club.

Sunland Springs Village HOA fees (2026)
Overall, dues here are low for a golf community. Still, you’ll pay a few one-time fees at closing, so here’s the full picture as of 2026.
| Fee | 2026 amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| HOA dues | About $76/month | About $915 a year |
| Capital improvement fee | About $2,287 | One-time, at closing |
| Transfer fee | About $155 | One-time |

| Garden-condo / patio monthly | Varies | Some attached homes carry an added monthly fee |
| Buyer’s one-time cost | About $2,442 | Capital plus transfer, on top of closing costs |
Golf is separate, since the club bills it, not the HOA. The association sets these fees and can change them, so we confirm every figure in writing before you commit. You can also compare buy-in costs across the Valley on our Arizona 55+ HOA fees page.
“I live in Arizona Traditions in Surprise, but I work the East Valley just as much as the West Valley. After 22+ years in these communities, the thing I tell Sunland Springs buyers is simple: look at the build era first. A block home from the early years and a frame home from the 2010s can sit a few streets apart and feel very different. So we sort that out before you fall for a kitchen.”
— Jarl Kubat, founder, Arizona 55+ Communities Real Estate

Do the HOA dues pay for golf?
No. Sunland Springs Golf Club runs as its own club, separate from the association, so your HOA dues don’t fund the course. Instead, green fees and memberships go through the club.
