Sunland Springs Village

Independent Assessment

Sunland Springs Village was independently confirmed to be a distinct, separately governed community from both Sunland Village and Sunland Village East, with its own homeowners association, its own golf club (Sunland Springs Golf Club, a separate entity from Sunland Village's and Sunland Village East's courses), and a later, still-partially-ongoing construction timeline extending past 2015. A specific data-quality issue is also worth flagging directly: several secondary sources cite a home count of 2,685 for Sunland Springs Village, which is identical to the independently confirmed home count for the separate Sunland Village community — a strong indication that at least one online source has cross-contaminated data between these two similarly named communities. Rather than repeat that figure, Sunland Springs Village's total home count is described as not publicly confirmed and should be requested directly from the association or verified against county records.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want the newest and generally best-maintained of the four Farnsworth-family Mesa communities, with the largest golf footprint (27 holes across the community) and two recreation centers, while still benefiting from low reported HOA dues, are the best fit for Sunland Springs Village. Buyers who prefer a single-level, low-maintenance 'garden condo' over a detached home also have that option here alongside conventional single-family homes.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Farnsworth Development established Sunland Springs Village in 1997 as the fourth and final community in its long-running series of East Valley active-adult developments (following Dreamland Villa, Sunland Village, and Sunland Village East). Construction continued over an extended period, with a portion of the community's townhomes built after 2015 — later than any of its three sibling communities. The development spans roughly 900 acres and includes both detached single-family homes and single-level townhome/condo product built around the community's 27-hole executive golf course.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

As of the last update, active listings have been reported priced roughly $324,000 to $600,000, reflecting the mix of detached homes and townhomes and the community's comparatively newer construction relative to its Farnsworth-family siblings. Buyers should compare recent closed sales for the specific home type and section.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Sunland Springs Village is understood to be largely resale as of the last update, though a portion of its townhome sections were built after 2015, later than the rest of this Farnsworth-family cluster. Buyers should confirm with the association or a local agent whether any builder or infill new-construction activity remains active, and should budget for a full independent inspection appropriate to the specific home's actual construction year.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes in Sunland Springs Village are subject to Maricopa County property tax, assessed and billed at the county level; buyers should confirm the current rate and a specific home's assessed value directly with the Maricopa County Assessor. Because construction spans 1997 through the post-2015 period, insurance underwriting should account for the specific home's actual construction year rather than assume a community-wide vintage.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Sunland Springs Village's larger, 900-acre footprint and 27-hole golf course give it a more spread-out, resort-like layout than its older Farnsworth-family siblings, supported by two separate recreation centers rather than one. The availability of single-level 'garden condo' townhomes alongside detached single-family homes on golf-course lots gives buyers a genuine low-maintenance option within the same golf-centered community.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Sunland Springs Village sits in the easternmost part of Mesa, with its association address on S. Springwood Boulevard and its golf clubhouse on E. Medina Avenue, both in the 85209 ZIP code — east of Sunland Village East along the same general Farnsworth-family corridor, closer to the Superstition Mountains foothills than any of its three sibling communities.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Sunland Springs Village is marketed and operated as a 55-plus active-adult golf community, consistent with the HOPA framework used across Arizona's age-restricted communities. Sunland Springs Village's specific recorded CC&R age-restriction language, including whether it uses an 80/20 under-55 occupancy allowance similar to its sibling community Sunland Village East, has not been independently confirmed; buyers should confirm the exact current wording directly with the association.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Because Sunland Springs Village's construction extended from 1997 into the 2010s, buyers should expect more variation in home age and finish level across sections than in an older community built in a single, tighter window. The community's total home count remains unconfirmed due to conflicting secondary-source figures, which buyers should keep in mind when comparing density or amenity-to-resident ratios against neighboring communities. As with its Farnsworth-family siblings, golf access should be confirmed as a separate cost from HOA dues.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

As the newest and largest-footprint community in the Farnsworth-family Mesa cluster, Sunland Springs Village offers more golf (27 holes versus 18 at each of Sunland Village and Sunland Village East) and two recreation centers rather than one, at reported HOA dues comparable to or lower than its older siblings. Buyers comparing all three should weigh Sunland Springs Village's newer, more varied construction timeline and larger amenity footprint against the more settled, single-era character of Sunland Village and Sunland Village East.

Is Sunland Springs Village the same community as Sunland Village or Sunland Village East?

How many homes are in Sunland Springs Village?

A reliable total home count has not been independently confirmed. Secondary sources conflict, and at least one commonly cited figure (2,685) appears to be a data error duplicated from the separate Sunland Village community. Request the current figure directly from the association.

A 27-hole executive golf course (Sunland Springs Golf Club), the largest golf footprint of any community in this Mesa cluster, along with two separate recreation centers.

How much are HOA fees at Sunland Springs Village?

Reported at approximately $915-$926 per year (roughly $76-$77/month) — among the lowest in the Phoenix-area 55+ market. Confirm the current figure directly with the association.
