Frequently Asked Questions About Sunland Village
1. What is the story behind Sunland Village?
It’s a piece of East Valley history. Sunland Village was the second of four Farnsworth developments in the East Valley, with construction beginning in 1974 and completing in 1984 — a full decade of building that produced 2,685 homes. Today around 4,000 year-round and seasonal residents live here, making it one of Mesa’s most established 55+ communities.
2. How has Sunland Village changed since it was built?
The bones are the same, but much of the housing stock has been transformed. Homes here date from 1974 to 1984, and many have since been extensively remodeled — recent listings describe a “gorgeous remodel,” an “expanded model,” and homes with newer upgraded roofs. Meanwhile Mesa has grown up around it: the U.S. 60 and Superstition Springs Center now put the whole metro within easy reach.
3. What is the difference between Sunland Village and Sunland Village East?
They are two separate Farnsworth communities, and buyers confuse them constantly. Sunland Village came second (1974-1984, 2,685 homes, largely in the 85206 zip). Sunland Village East came third, was built later, and sits in 85209. Both are 55+ and both carry the Farnsworth name — but they are distinct communities with different homes, ages and amenities. Establish which one you’re looking at first.
4. What condition are the homes in, given their age?
It varies enormously, and that’s where value is decided. These are homes from the 1970s and early 1980s, so you’ll find everything from largely original properties to beautifully renovated ones. Recent listings include a gorgeous remodel and an expanded model on a cul-de-sac, alongside more original homes priced accordingly. Roofs, HVAC and plumbing deserve close attention at this age.
5. What has stayed the same — what defines the community’s character?
The amenities and the social life. Sunland Village still offers three swimming pools, a jacuzzi and whirlpool, tennis courts, a golf course, and hobby and craft rooms — alongside a large number of clubs and groups, organized card games, sporting activities, and community dances and parties. That club-and-activity culture is what residents have valued here for fifty years.
6. How does Sunland Village compare to newer 55+ communities?
It trades newness for maturity and value. Newer active adult communities offer modern floor plans and contemporary clubhouses; Sunland Village offers established streets, mature landscaping, a full amenity package, and prices well below what comparable amenities cost in newer developments. For many buyers that’s a good trade — particularly if a home has already been renovated.
7. What is daily life like here?
Sociable, at your own pace. The community organizes a variety of events and activities — residents can join organized card games, and many different groups and clubs, sporting activities, and community dances and parties are available. With around 4,000 residents, there’s enough scale to always have something happening.
8. What does it cost to buy in Sunland Village?
Recent listings have run roughly in the high $300,000s to low $400,000s for two- and three-bedroom homes, with renovated properties at the top of that band. Note that some listings shown for this community are actually in Sunland Village East — so confirm which community a home is in before comparing prices. Contact The Holm Group for verified figures.
9. Who thrives in Sunland Village?
Active adults who want a full social calendar, golf and pools on site, and an established community at an accessible price — including seasonal residents, given how many homes here are used part of the year. Buyers comfortable with a 1970s or 80s home, whether already renovated or ready to update, do best.
