Suburban community with lakefront views

Sought-after Spanish Revival homes in Val Vista
“Val Vista is a unique area compared to other Arizona communities,” says Leatherbarrow. “It’s not all stucco or brown—there’s a Tuscan look on some of the bigger homes. It’s a nice community.” The average home price in Val Vista is $640,000, more expensive than neighboring Northwest Gilbert and East Gilbert, where the average prices are less than $600,000. Most homes here range between $500,000 and $800,000, but some custom homes and waterfront properties go for up to $2.5 million.
The master-planned community of Val Vista Lakes has more than 20 residential subdivisions with lakefront houses and offers neighborhood amenities like tennis courts and a clubhouse. “It’s one of the few places in Gilbert where you can have a house on the water with a pontoon boat and a little dock,” says Leatherbarow. Single-family homes from the late 20th century start around $550,000 and are typically shaded in light Earth tones featuring Mediterranean-style design elements like terracotta roofs and casement windows. “You’re going to pay a little more to live here because of the amenities,” says Leatherbarrow. “If you go a mile or two over to pick a similar home that’s not on the water, it could be $200,000 to $300,000 lower.”
Val Vista’s gated communities offer a perfect blend of luxury and privacy in every home.
