Homes For Sale in Sunland Village Live MLS listings, updated all day:Sunland Village: A 55+ Buyer’s Guide
One of Mesa’s original active adult communities — an affordable, established 55+ golf community wrapped around its own 18-hole executive course, with some of the lowest HOA dues in the East Valley.
Sunland Village is one of Mesa’s original 55+ active adult communities, built between 1974 and 1984, with about 2,685 homes wrapped around its own 18-hole golf course. It’s an established, friendly, and genuinely affordable place — the kind of community where neighbors know each other and the dues stay low. Founder Jarl Kubat has spent 22+ years helping buyers across Mesa’s active adult communities, and Sunland Village is one we point value-minded buyers to again and again.
An established, affordable value in east Mesa
What people notice first here is the price of entry. The annual HOA is one of the lowest of any golf community in the Greater Phoenix area, and the homes were built in an era when they were made to be lived in, not oversized. That combination — low dues, its own course, an easy location near the US-60 and Superstition Springs — is why Sunland Village holds its value and stays popular with both year-round residents and winter visitors.
Because these are some of Mesa’s older active adult homes, the mechanicals matter more than the finishes — roof, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. That’s exactly what we look at when we walk a home with you, so you know what it needs and roughly what it’ll cost before you’re committed.
Homes here — and how they’re built
Sunland Village has a mix of home types: single-family homes, lower-maintenance patio homes, and condos. Most are single-level, and the community was built in the era of the covered carport — many owners have since enclosed theirs into a garage or hobby room. Floor plans run from cozy two-bedroom layouts up to just over 2,000 square feet. You can see every model laid out by size, beds, and baths on our Sunland Village floor plans page.
Golf, pickleball & daily life
Sunland Village is built around its own 18-hole executive golf course — par 62, about 3,623 yards — an easy-walking, quick-playing layout right in the community, with Rochester’s restaurant at the clubhouse. Executive length is a real plus for a lot of active adult golfers: a genuine round of golf you can finish in a morning, steps from home.
Beyond golf, the clubhouse life is full: three swimming pools plus a spa, a fitness center, tennis, and a busy hobby-and-craft scene with a library and woodworking shop. Pickleball players have a dedicated club with 8 outdoor courts (permanent nets and lines, lighted for evening play) on the north side of the community.
Compare the courses: Sunland 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.
