Trilogy at Power Ranch

Independent Assessment

Trilogy at Power Ranch was independently confirmed to be a genuinely distinct, separately governed, legally age-restricted section of Power Ranch, not merely a marketing label for part of the broader all-ages master plan — multiple sources describe a dedicated Trilogy at Power Ranch Community Association, separate from the Power Ranch Community Association that governs the surrounding all-ages neighborhoods, consistent with the same layered structure previously verified at Trilogy at Vistancia. Builder attribution is consistent and well-corroborated across Shea Homes' own materials and multiple independent real-estate and golf directories: Shea Homes, under its Trilogy brand, with no conflicting builder claims found. The one figure that remains unreconciled is the current HOA fee — one HOA-fee aggregator cites roughly $300/quarter plus a $30/quarter special assessment through 2032, while at least one other source cites a much wider and higher range; buyers should request the current statement directly from the association rather than relying on any single quoted figure. A minor, unresolved date discrepancy: one aggregator lists construction as spanning 1988-2008, which predates Shea's 1999 Trilogy brand launch and appears to be an error, since every other source found consistently places groundbreaking around 1999.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want a well-established, fully built-out, legally age-restricted 55+ community with a dedicated amenity campus and on-site golf, while still being close to Gilbert's shopping, dining, and the SanTan Village retail corridor, are the best fit for Trilogy at Power Ranch. It particularly suits buyers who want the layered governance of a Trilogy sub-association inside a larger, walkable master plan rather than an age-exclusive island.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Shea Homes developed Trilogy at Power Ranch as its first full-scale community under the Trilogy active-adult brand, launched in 1999, within the larger Power Ranch master plan in Gilbert. The community was built out across six model collections to 2,035 single-family homes, with final sales reported completed around 2007, and construction continuing into 2008 for the last phases. Homes range from roughly 1,100 to 3,444 square feet. No credible source disputes Shea Homes as the builder; Trilogy at Power Ranch's builder history is consistently and clearly documented.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Resale pricing is reported roughly in the $390,000-$775,000 range based on recent listings, with a 2026 median list price near $545,000. As with any single-builder community built across nearly a decade, buyers should compare recent closed sales for the specific model collection and phase rather than relying on a single quoted range, since early- and late-phase homes can differ meaningfully in size and finish level.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Trilogy at Power Ranch is fully built out, with final sales completed around 2007-2008, so all current purchases are resale without a builder warranty. Buyers should budget for a full independent inspection given the age of the housing stock (built 1999-2008) and should request the association's most recent reserve study and details on the ongoing special assessment as part of due diligence.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes here are subject to Maricopa County property tax, assessed and billed at the county level. Buyers should confirm whether any community facilities district or special taxing district assessment applies in addition to county tax and the Trilogy at Power Ranch Community Association's reported special assessment (approximately $30/quarter, reported to run through 2032), since large East Valley master-planned developments sometimes carry such districts.

Golf

The Power Ranch Golf Club (also marketed as Trilogy Golf Club at Power Ranch) is a Dick Bailey-designed, 18-hole, par-71 course of roughly 6,900 yards that winds through the Queen Creek wash within the Trilogy footprint. Golf operates under its own separate CC&Rs rather than being bundled into HOA dues, so residents interested in regular play should confirm current membership structure and rates directly with the golf club.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Trilogy at Power Ranch's lifestyle centers on the San Tan Club, its dedicated 55+ clubhouse, while residents also have access to the broader, all-ages Power Ranch master plan's extensive parks, lakes, and trail network — a genuinely different layout than an age-exclusive gated island, since Trilogy sits within a larger, walkable community with its own retail and dining nearby. Golf at the on-site Power Ranch Golf Club adds an additional recreational anchor for residents who want it, on a pay-to-play or membership basis separate from HOA dues.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Trilogy at Power Ranch sits within the larger Power Ranch master-planned community in Gilbert, close to the Loop 202 (San Tan Freeway) and the SanTan Village regional shopping and dining district, giving residents reasonably short drives to established East Valley retail, medical facilities, and Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. Buyers should confirm current drive times to specific medical providers and Sky Harbor International Airport given the community's East Valley, rather than central Phoenix, location.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Trilogy at Power Ranch is independently confirmed as a legally age-restricted 55+ community operating under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA): at least one resident per household must be 55 or older, and permanent residents under 19 are not permitted, consistent with standard HOPA-compliant deed restrictions maintained by the dedicated Trilogy at Power Ranch Community Association. This is a genuinely distinct restriction from the surrounding, all-ages Power Ranch master plan, which carries no age restriction of its own — buyers should not assume the broader Power Ranch brand implies any age restriction outside the specific Trilogy boundaries.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

As a community built out between 1999 and roughly 2007-2008, all current purchases are resale without a builder warranty, and buyers should expect some homes to be approaching or past 20 years old with corresponding system-age considerations. Reported HOA fees vary meaningfully across sources — from roughly $100/month up to figures several times higher on other aggregators — so buyers should not assume any single quoted number without confirming it, along with the status of the special assessment reported to run through 2032, directly with the association. Golf at the Power Ranch Golf Club (Trilogy Golf Club at Power Ranch) is governed by its own separate CC&Rs and is not bundled into HOA dues, so regular golfers should budget for membership or green fees separately.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within the Phoenix East Valley, Trilogy at Power Ranch is most directly comparable to Trilogy at Encanterra in the Queen Creek/San Tan Valley area (same builder, same active-adult brand, more resort-scaled amenities and a higher price point) and to Sun Lakes' older, larger Del Webb-era communities to the west — Trilogy at Power Ranch offers a smaller, single amenity campus and lower entry price than Encanterra in exchange for closer proximity to Gilbert's established retail corridor.

Current Listings

A connected local agent can provide current available resale inventory, recent closed comparables by model collection, and the current HOA fee and special-assessment status for a specific home.
