Superstition Springs

With premiere shopping, pristine golf courses and entertainment options, Superstition Springs is the place to be in the East Valley.

The subdivisions that make up Superstition Springs are described as a “safe, friendly area to live in,” by licensed Real Estate Agent Vicky Hubbard with Homesmart. Many of the single-family homes in the area were constructed in the late 1990s into the early 2000s and have since undergone interior renovations that include new flooring and stainless-steel kitchen appliances among other upgrades. Homes often have open floor plans which allows easy access from the living room to the dining and kitchen areas. Your home will be the go-to place for parties throughout the summer with your private pool and shaded patio, all within a fenced-in backyard that allows for extra privacy. Condominium units are also available throughout Superstition Springs, many of which are in gated communities. Condos often feature modern appliances, spacious bedrooms and community amenities including a pool and designated parking spots. Home prices tend to vary throughout the community, with some homes starting in the mid $300,000 and ranging up to $600,000.

Residents of Superstition Springs have a myriad of shopping options at their fingertips, with plenty of shops and dining options available in the northern part of the neighborhood. The expansive, indoor Superstition Springs Center features plenty of retail shopping, dining and entertainment options. Stores like Dillard’s, Macy’s and Burlington offer the latest and greatest fashion trends, and if you need new running shoes or a pair of shoes for an upcoming event you can head to Famous Footwear or Foot Locker. Grab a quick bite to eat from one of the many fast-food options available or sit down and enjoy a New York Steak and a strawberry cheesecake for desert at The Cheesecake Factory, one of several restaurants in the mall. More dining options are available along Superstition Springs Boulevard, ranging from national chains to fast-food options for a meal on-the-go. You can catch the latest box office hits with a buttery tub of popcorn at Harkins Theaters.

In the southern end, try Beast of Bourbon Sports Bar for classic bar food and great drink specials, or for a night in, order a pie from a location of favorite local pizza chain, Barro's Pizza.

If you’d rather spend the day on the greens, book a tee time at Superstition Springs Golf Club. This 18-hole course that was once home to a PGA tour qualifying event features pristine Bermuda fairways, and strategic bunkers and water hazards that will provide a challenge for players of all skill levels. A staple in the community since its completion in 1970, the Desert Sands Golf Course’s short layout make for fast greens, and the flat terrain makes the course suitable for beginners as well. If you want to practice on your swing, you can head to the driving range to perfect your game.

Deemed an A+ School of Excellence by the Arizona Educational Foundation and an A rated school by the Arizona Department of Education, Superstition Springs Elementary School’s reputation precedes itself as one of the top schools in the area. Students here can take their pick of the many extracurricular activities available, including student council, chess club or science club among others. Students looking to start an active lifestyle can join the running club or youth basketball that’s offered for students of all grades.

After school students can head over to Monterey Park playground, which features recently installed playground equipment that’ll keep children entertained for hours. Residents can head to the park for a pickup game of basketball or invite friends and family to the picnic area for a barbecue. There are also plenty of trees at the park that provide the perfect amount of shade to relax under with a good book on a nice afternoon.

Residents in Superstition Springs can get a jump start on their commute by jumping on US-60, which runs through the heart of the neighborhood and can take you into the eastern part of the Valley.
