Frequently Asked Questions About Corona del Sol Estates
1. Is Corona del Sol Estates gated?
Independent sources describe it as one of Tempe’s premier gated communities — and if that’s right, it’s the most important thing about the address. Tempe is one of the Valley’s oldest and densest cities, built out on a grid around ASU, and gated enclaves here are genuinely scarce. Confirm the current arrangement with The Holm Group.
2. What does a third to a half acre mean in Tempe?
Far more than the same lot would mean further out. Homes here sit on roughly a third to a half acre — in a city where the typical lot is a fraction of that. In North Scottsdale that would be unremarkable; in South Tempe it’s close to unrepeatable, because there is no land left to do it again.
3. What privacy do 199 homes give you?
Enough, and the trees do a lot of it. This is a settled neighbourhood established in 1978, and nearly fifty years of growth shows — including the mature pecan trees that line the streets. Combined with third-acre lots and a single-purpose street layout, the result is a quiet that Tempe’s grid blocks can’t offer.
4. Is the gate about security or scarcity?
Both, and the second is doing more work than people admit. A gate in South Tempe isn’t just a barrier; it marks an enclave that a built-out city can no longer replicate. That scarcity is a large part of why homes here trade well above the wider Tempe market.
5. What do the homes themselves do for privacy?
They’re substantial and they’re individual. These are semi-custom homes of roughly 2,790 to 4,000 square feet on generous lots — several with basements, which is rare in Arizona and gives you a whole floor nobody sees from the street. Buyers should ask what a specific home has; the variation here is real.
6. Who chooses South Tempe over Scottsdale?
People with a reason to be here — and there are many. ASU, the Kyrene and Tempe Union schools, the Chandler employment corridor and the airport are all close. For a buyer who wants a large home on real land without commuting from North Scottsdale, South Tempe is the answer, and this is one of its best-regarded addresses.
7. What’s the trade-off?
You’re in a city, and the gate doesn’t change that. South Tempe is established, busy and convenient rather than secluded. If you want desert quiet and dark skies, this isn’t it. If you want a big house, mature trees and half an acre minutes from everything, it is — and very little else in Tempe offers that combination.
8. Does the location itself protect anything?
It helps. The community is bounded by Warner Road and Knox Road to the north and south, and Lakeshore Drive and McClintock Road to the east and west — a defined block with no through-route. Nobody drives through Corona del Sol Estates on the way to anywhere else.
9. How does this compare to a gated community in Scottsdale?
It’s rarer, and it costs less. North Scottsdale has dozens of gated communities and several private canyons — you can pick your tier of seclusion and pay for it. Tempe has very few, so a gated enclave of 199 homes on third-acre lots here isn’t one option among many. It’s close to a category of one.
10. Should I work with The Holm Group to buy or sell in Corona del Sol Estates?
Andrew and The Holm Group have more than 26 years of experience and hundreds of closed transactions across the Valley, including Tempe. The team represents both buyers and sellers, and knows how lot, position and condition drive value in a semi-custom community where no two homes are alike.
Corona del Sol Estates is a community where published figures actively mislead. Homes here are trading well above the ranges still in circulation, and in a semi-custom neighbourhood spanning four decades of construction — some with basements, some extensively remodelled, some original — an average tells you nothing at all.
