Suburban living with a country feel east of Phoenix

On the eastern edge of Phoenix's metropolitan area, Superstition Vistas is a quickly developing community just outside of popular areas like Queen Creek and San Tan Valley. Set in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, residents of Superstition Vistas enjoy unparalleled access to the area's wide-open landscape, with many homes coming on several acres of land. Sidney Palmer, a real estate agent with Limitless Real Estate recommends the neighborhood for "Families working in the Mesa or Gilbert area" who would like somewhere "More peaceful, with plenty of space to have horses or spread out and have some privacy." With homes quickly being built eastward and much more new growth still in the works, Superstition Vistas is a place "You’ll want to get in while you can," says Palmer, adding that "Soon, it'll be one of the most premiere communities in the East Valley." Due to a massive development plan by the city of Apache Junction, there are plans for all of the neighborhood's 275 square miles of land to be filled with new homes and recreational and commercial spaces.
