ABOUT

Leisure World Arizona

Residents of this well-established community are within five minutes of a major mall, a major hospital, and convenient freeway access. The homes are older, but the ideal location and the Leisure World brand name make it a popular choice.

Overview

Situated on 958 acres, the Leisure World 55+ golf retirement community in Mesa, Arizona contains 2,664 homes and offers a full range of activities and amenities, including two golf courses.

Developed by Rossmoor mostly during the 1970’s and 1980’s, Leisure World Arizona is part of the national Leisure World® brand. There are seven Leisure World communities across the country: Arizona, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia, and two in California (Seal Beach and Walnut Creek). A major Leisure World community was also built in Laguna Beach, CA, but the community broke its ties with Rossmoor and the Leisure World brand, and is now known as Laguna Woods.

Leisure World Arizona is a guard-gated community with 24-hour guarded security including vehicle patrols. Guests of residents must have prior gate clearance from the property owner before being allowed to enter the community. You might find it easier to get through airport security than through the guard at the Leisure World gate 🙂


Real Estate at Leisure World

A variety of home styles and floor plans are available, including detached single-family homes, condominiums, duplexes, and garden homes. HOA fees vary by the type of property.

The HOA fees for houses is determined by the lot premium, so homes on greenbelts, golf courses, and waterfront lots pay a higher HOA fee than “standard” lots.

The HOA fees for townhomes & patio homes include building and roof maintenance, front yard maintenance, water, sewer and garbage. There is also a blanket hazard insurance coverage for the exterior walls (everything “inside” is the owner’s responsibility)

Most homes were built during the 1970s and 1980’s, so buyers will usually want to do a little updating and modernizing. More and more of the houses are being remodeled and updated, so you might get lucky and find a home that has already been renovated.
