Southern Gilbert community with tight bonds
Set along the Roosevelt Canal, not far from the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in Gilbert, San Tan Ranch is a well-kept master-planned community with tons of single-family homes and outdoor spaces. “I do think it attracts homebuyers who want to have suburban living but still have easy access to the freeway and cities west of them,” says Roberta L. Voss, associate broker for Re/Max Professionals who sells in the area. Along with having a low CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10, the neighborhood is close to grocery stores and boutiques in the adjacent Cooley Station neighborhood. Young families are also drawn to the area for the highly-rated Higley Unified School District, but, additionally, Voss says, “A person would move here for a bigger sense of community.” Residents make an effort to get to know each other at drink socials in people’s driveways or give back through local food drives.
Spanish details and amenities in San Tan Ranch housing stock
The streets in San Tan Ranch are lined with narrow sidewalks and tall street lamps, and many connect to busier four-lane thoroughfares like East Pecos Road and East Germann Road. Single-family homes here consist of early 21st-century ranch-style and one to two-story modern traditional houses. Both feature Spanish influences including, flat and gabled terracotta roofs, tan stucco facades and arched entryways. Many have rock-landscaped front yards with desert plants as well as fenced-in backyards with pools. Some are within walking distance of pickleball courts, playgrounds and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is actively involved in the community. Smaller home, mostly in the northern section of the neighborhood, range between $400,000 and $600,000. Properties with more square footage and are generally spread out around the neighborhood borders are priced from $630,000 to $800,000; a few may even fall in the million-dollar range. Homeowners can expect to pay about $48 in monthly HOA fees.
High marks for Higley Unified Schools
San Tan Ranch is zoned for the Higley Unified School Districts, rated one of the best in the state by Niche. Kids start out at San Tan Elementary, which offers kindergarten through sixth grade and is rated an A by Niche. The school is in the middle of the neighborhood and is walkable for some. For seventh and eighth grade, students continue on to Sossaman Middle, about 4 miles away, which also earns an A. Higley High, just outside of the neighborhood, scores an A-minus and has a long list of athletic and academic clubs like flag football, pickleball and geology.

Several places to stroll and play in Gilbert Regional Park
The area houses a handful of pocket parks like Toddler and Menlo Park, both including covered playgrounds and flat, open spaces. Adventures at Boulders Park has rock formations to climb on and a circular, paved trail. A few miles south, the 272-acre Gilbert Regional Park features a fenced-in splash pad, several sand volleyball courts and a massive pond with a fishing pier. The city is planning to add an additional 25 acres for water park attractions like a surf lagoon and areas to practice paddle boarding and canoeing. Voss says Legacy Sports Complex is another popular place and offers indoor and outdoor activities like basketball, lacrosse and arcade games.

Residents are within a few miles of the Arizona 202 or “Loop 202”, which does, in fact, loop around the greater Phoenix area. Downtown Gilbert, known by locals as the Heritage District, is roughly 10 miles northwest. People here drive to get from one place to another, but several roads do offer bike lanes. Arizona General Hospital is roughly a 3-mile drive east, and the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport is 4 miles east.
Bonding over drinks and house decorating contests
The neighborhood hosts several get-togethers and celebrations. Drinks on the Driveway is a lowkey event featuring red solo cups and lawn chairs at designated homes at least once a month. During the holidays, carolers from the nearby Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints go door-to-door, and the community holds Halloween and Christmas house decorating contests. In December, folks can also head over to The Barn and Trailside Community Park for Winter Wonderland, an event filled with wagon rides, a petting zoo and even fake snow for kids to play in. Around March, Gilbert Regional Park hosts Boots in the Park and features performances by famous country music artists like Chris Young and Luke Combs.
Staying cool in San Tan Ranch
Due to its desert climate, residents will experience extremely hot days.
