Gracious homes and friendly neighbors

Agritopia is a close-knit community that surrounds several acres of farmland. The neighborhood was developed in the early 2000s by a family of farmers who envisioned a rural village in a modern setting, with most everything that residents might need within walking distance. The family’s dream was realized in this world of welcoming neighbors and gracious homes with wide front porches. “Agritopia offers a unique blend of small-town charm and vibrant community life,” says Sarah Luzi, a Designated Broker with Tyche Real Estate. “That focus on front-yard living really fosters a strong sense of community and makes it a really special place to call home,” Throughout Agritopia, sidewalks on tree-lined streets allow for leisurely walks around the block or down to the coffee store for a morning pick-up. A CAP index score of 3/10 means crime rates are low here.

Front-forward homes that welcome friends

The four architectural styles found in the neighborhood include Spanish-influenced, Craftsman, European Revival and ranch-style homes. All houses here are built toward the front of their property and feature oversized front porches to encourage interaction with neighbors walking by. But this is not a cookie-cutter neighborhood; homes come in various sizes and sport many colors and individualized elements. Some homes feature plantation shutters that block out the bright Arizona sun, while other homes have large street-facing windows perfect for watching the sunset or keeping an eye on the kids. Ample backyards include space for a barbecue or pool party. Home prices range from $475,000 to around $1.4 million.

Good schools and graduation rates

Schools in the area are served by Higley Unified School District. Primary school students attend Higley Traditional Academy for kindergarten through Grade Eight. The school boasts an A rating from Niche and an 18-1 student-teacher ratio. Cooley Middle School has an 18-1 student-teacher ratio and an A-minus rating. Williams Field High School is rated A-minus and has a 19-1 student-teacher ratio. The school has a 94% graduation rate and an average SAT score of 1200.

Spaces for sports and gardens

Families and outdoors fans can stretch out at the 92-acre Crossroads District Park in Gilbert. The park offers multiple ballfields, a playground, dog park and amphitheater. Residents with green thumbs can lease a plot at the community garden, part of the larger Agritopia Farm. The farm is the foundation point of the entire neighborhood, with 11 acres of preserved land. Farm tours are held regularly, and visitors can head to the Farm Store afterward to buy fresh produce, apparel and gifts.

Shopping and dining in and around the neighborhood

Many residents walk down Agritopia’s Valencia Street in the morning for a caramel macchiato or iced coffee from The Coffee Shop. Plenty of breakfast and lunch options make it a relaxing spot to start the day. Joe’s Farm Grill is the cornerstone restaurant in Agritopia, built from the founding family’s original home. The restaurant is a local staple and has been featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. While Agritopia’s dining and shopping options are just a short walk or bike ride from the residential areas, when a more extensive shopping trip is necessary, San Tan Village Marketplace is only 2 miles away. The shopping area includes over 100 stores and restaurants, including Barnes and Noble, Dillard’s and Home Goods. Parents may want to pack swimsuits for little ones so they can enjoy the indoor splash fountain. Grocery shoppers will find several nearby supermarkets, including Fresh Market and Aldi.

Festivals and fun times

In April, locals can head to nearby Gilbert for the El Puente festival. The annual event brings together cultural music and dance performances from across the area by professional and student artists. The outdoor event also features storytelling, puppet shows and food vendors. Community members often gather for Farm Nights on the second Wednesday of the month from September to May to enjoy good food and conversation with neighbors and local growers. Agritopia hosts a steady slate of events throughout the year. The neighborhood’s annual Oktoberfest helps ring in the fall season.
