Curious about this community? Reach out any time — we’re glad to help.
Verde Groves in Mesa is a small, gated 55+ community built for easy, lock-and-leave living. It has about 210 single-level patio homes, built by Hughes Development between about 1999 and 2004, wrapped around a 10,000-square-foot clubhouse. Still, the big draw here is simple: one monthly fee covers your exterior maintenance, water, sewer, and trash. As a result, it’s a favorite for snowbirds and anyone who wants to travel without worrying about the house. In short, it’s small, tidy, and truly low-maintenance.
Why we know Mesa’s smaller 55+ communities
Founder Jarl Kubat has spent 22+ years helping buyers and sellers in Arizona 55+ and retirement communities, in both the West Valley and the East Valley. He also lives in Arizona Traditions in Surprise, so he knows 55+ living as a neighbor, not just as an agent. In a community this small, that experience matters. After all, only a handful of homes come up each year, so we watch for them and check the fee, the pet rules, and the age rules before you fall for one.
The lock-and-leave value
Your monthly HOA fee covers all exterior maintenance, plus water, sewer, and trash. For a lot of buyers, that’s the whole appeal. For example, you can lock the door, fly home for the summer, and not think about the yard or the bills tied to the home. In other words, it’s about as hands-off as owning a home gets.

Where Verde Groves sits in Mesa
Verde Groves sits in east Mesa near Broadway Road. So everyday shopping, restaurants, and medical care are all close by, with easy access to US 60 and the rest of the Valley. In fact, it’s a settled, convenient part of Mesa, the kind of place where you can run every errand within a few minutes of home. For a lock-and-leave buyer, then, being close to everything is part of the appeal.
Is Verde Groves a retirement community?
Yes. Verde Groves is an age-restricted 55+ community that follows the common “80/20” rule. At last check, at least 80% of homes must have a resident 55 or older. In addition, the other 20% can have a resident who is at least 40, and no one under 19 may live there permanently. Because that 20% allowance is limited, it has to be verified before you buy if you’re under 55. Not quite 55 yet? Even so, there may be a door open here, so let us confirm the current numbers for you. Meanwhile, to learn how this works across the state, see our guide to the 80/20 rule in Arizona 55+ communities.
Verde Groves homes for sale: the market right now
For most communities we cover, we run a 90-day sales report from the Arizona Regional MLS and post the numbers here. However, at last check we hadn’t run one for Verde Groves in Mesa. With only about 210 homes, a single sale can swing the averages. Also, when Verde Groves homes for sale do come up, the good ones can move fast. So we’d rather pull the latest sales for you than post a number that misleads.
For a sense of the neighborhood: as of September 2026, the lowest 90-day sales in nearby Mesa 55+ communities started at about $183,000 in Leisure World, $222,000 in Dreamland Villa, and $229,000 in Fountain of the Sun.
In other words, those figures are for the neighbors, not for Verde Groves. Ranges shift as the market changes, so call or text (480) 710-6326 to verify today’s numbers. You can also compare communities on our Arizona 55+ market update.
Verde Groves homes and floor plans
The community is made up of single-level, attached patio homes, which are low-maintenance by design. There are five floor plans to choose from:
| Floor plan | Style |
|---|---|
| Legacy | Single-level patio home |
| Vintage | Single-level patio home |
| Heritage | Single-level patio home |
| Majestic | Single-level patio home |
| Summit | Single-level patio home |
Square footage, bedrooms, and upgrades vary by plan and by home. In addition, many of the Verde Groves homes for sale have been updated over the years. So, want the detailed floor-plan sheets for any of these? Just ask, and we’ll send them over and pull the specifics on any home you like.
Good to know: these same five floor plans were also built at Ironwood Village in Casa Grande. So if you love a particular plan but the timing or price isn’t right here, you may find the same home there too. In that case, just ask, and we’ll watch both.
A note on pets: because these are attached patio homes, pet rules are set at the community level and can have limits. If pets matter to you, let us verify the current pet policy before you fall for a specific home. After all, it’s a quick, important check.
Clubhouse and amenities
For a community this size, the clubhouse punches above its weight. The roughly 10,000-square-foot amenity center includes:
- An outdoor swimming pool and a separate lap pool.
- A fitness room.
- Arts and crafts, ceramics, and sewing studios.
- A card room, billiards, and a library.
- A small ballroom, demonstration kitchen, and meeting rooms.
As a result, it’s the social heart of the community, with enough to keep you as busy as you’d like, on an easy, walkable scale.
Golf and pickleball near Verde Groves
There’s no golf course inside the community. Instead, it’s built around ease, not sport. Still, Mesa has plenty of public golf close by, so golfers here simply pay as they play, and your HOA dues have nothing to do with golf. If a course out the back door is a must, nearby Fountain of the Sun and Leisure World each have their own golf. You can also browse our Arizona 55+ golf course homes guide.
Love pickleball? Right now, we don’t publish a court count for this community until we’ve confirmed it, so ask us and we’ll check the current courts with the Association. Of course, any courts here are community amenities, not part of a golf club. Meanwhile, see how Mesa compares on our Arizona 55+ pickleball communities hub.
Verde Groves HOA fees (2026)

To see how these dues stack up, check our Arizona 55+ HOA fees comparison.
