Chandler Heights Citrus offers accessibility and country living
In the southern region of Phoenix’s East Valley, Chandler Heights Citrus is a classic desert neighborhood with convenience to big-city amenities. “Everything used to be farmland as of the early 2000s, but in the past 20 years, it’s really ramped up,” says Realtor Susan Bermudez of LPT Realty, LLC, who has sold homes here since 2012. Views of the San Tan Mountains backdrop the valleys below, and dirt roads add to the rustic feel. Lots are large enough for recreational vehicles and horse facilities, and the main boulevard houses mechanic shops and a few locally owned restaurants. The neighborhood's CAP Index Crime Score is 2 out of 10, significantly lower than the national average of 4.

Lots come in many sizes, and architecture combats desert heat
The housing market consists of single-family homes with Pueblo, Spanish and Mediterranean influences and stucco facades used for insulation. Newer builds may also feature contemporary accents. Sidewalks are uncommon throughout the neighborhood, and many roads are covered with sand and lined with palm trees. Lots typically have dividing fences and vary in size, with some reaching nearly 3 acres. The largest properties have pools, horse corrals and recreational vehicles parked outside. Most homes sell between $500,000 and $900,000. Those that exceed 3,000 square feet and have more than four bedrooms often range from $1 million to $3 million. “You get a lot of bang for your buck here,” Bermudez says.

Visitors from all over the valley come for Caldwell County BBQ, which has plenty of outdoor seating and live music adjacent to Pecan Lake Entertainment Park. “I love barbecue, and Caldwell has the best,” Bermudez says. Shoppers head to Queen Creek Marketplace for dozens of retailers, and plazas off Rittenhouse and Ellsworth roads include additional big-box options, such as Walmart.
