Sunland Springs Village: A 55+ Buyer’s Guide
The newest of Mesa’s Sunland communities — newer homes with higher ceilings, a resort-style rec center, and Mesa’s only 27-hole golf facility right in the neighborhood.
Sunland Springs Village is the newest of the three Sunland communities in Mesa, opened in 1997 and built out into the 2010s, with about 2,890 homes. It’s the one to look at if you want a newer home and the most golf — it wraps around Mesa’s only 27-hole golf facility. Founder Jarl Kubat has spent 22+ years helping buyers across the East Valley’s active adult communities, and this is a strong-value pick for buyers who want newer construction without leaving Mesa.
Newer homes, higher ceilings, good value
Because Sunland Springs Village kept building later than the other two Sunlands, many of its homes are newer — 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, and it’s exactly the kind of detail we walk through with you so you’re matching the right home to what you want.
Homes here
Sunland Springs Village has detached single-family homes and single-level garden condos (attached). Almost everything is single-level. You can see the plans laid out by size, beds, and baths on our Sunland Springs Village floor plans page.
Golf, pickleball & daily life
The headline amenity is the golf: Sunland Springs Golf Club is a 27-hole executive facility — the only 27-hole course among Mesa’s active adult communities. It’s laid out as three nines — Four Peaks (par 31), San Tan (par 33), and Superstition — each named for the mountain range you aim at off the first tee, and you play any two of the three for an 18-hole round (roughly par 64–65). Designed by executive-course specialist Jeff Hardin, it gives you more variety than a standard 18.
The rec center is resort-style: 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. Pickleball players have a dedicated club with 12 outdoor courts (permanent nets and lines, lighted for evening play).
Compare the courses: Sunland Springs Village is one of three Sunland communities in Mesa, each with its own course — see all three side by side on our Sunland golf courses page, and browse the homes on the floor plans page.
