An oasis in the Arizona desert
An oasis in the desert, The Islands feels more Florida than Arizona. Located around three man-made lakes on the border of Gilbert and Chandler in the East Valley, the planned community was originally surrounded by empty fields. With the rapid growth of the Phoenix area through the 1990s and 2000s, it’s now in the middle of the action. “People don’t normally think of lakes in Arizona,” says Lorraine Moller, Realtor with Keller Williams Realty East Valley who has lived in The Islands for more than 20 years. “But it’s nice now being able to be on the water and also so close to downtown Gilbert and Chandler.”
The Islands is a truly unique neighborhood in the heart of the Sonoran Desert.
Many homes in The Islands have lakefront views.
1/2
Lakefront homes, both moderate and majestic
Along the lakes on the interior of the neighborhood, the serpentine coves extend to ensure as many homes as possible are waterfront. A relatively unified design aesthetic unifies the neighborhood, as Spanish-style architecture dominates the area with tile roofs, stone ornamentation and stucco exteriors, although some ranches are found outside of The Islands community. Houses can be found for as low as the upper $300,000s, but the majority push closer to the mid-$600,000s. For luxurious lakeside mansions, homebuyers can pay north of $1.4 million. The neighborhood is administered by The Islands Community Association and requires fees, which came out to around $700 in 2023.
The Islands neighborhood feels more like a tropical destination and less like a desert.
This beautiful Spanish style home is one of many lakeside homes in The Islands.

Highly rated school systems
Split between the municipalities of Gilbert and Chandler, The Islands utilizes two separate school districts. The northern half of the neighborhood resides in the Gilbert Public Schools district, while the Chandler Unified School District takes the southern portion of the neighborhood. Both systems are ranked highly; the Chandler system is ranked as the top school district in Arizona by Niche, and the Gilbert schools come in eighth. Students may attend Islands Elementary School and Mesquite Junior High School, which each received a B-plus grade from Niche, followed by Mesquite High School, which earned a B.

Lakeside recreation in The Islands
The Islands community takes full advantage of its lakefront status, as many residents own boats. “Getting out on the water is a nice evening activity,” Moller says. “A lot of times, when I get home from work, my husband and I take some time to relax on the lake.” Even the recreation on dry land is enhanced by the lakes, as Islands Park sits beside the water, surrounded by palm trees. The private park includes a basketball court, a playground and charcoal grills for parkgoers to host their own cookout. Those looking for a public green space can visit Provinces Park on the south side of the neighborhood.
Many residents in The Islands have boats for fishing and leisure.
The Islands residents have a variety of walking paths to enjoy throughout the neighborhood.

The Islands Community Association events
Residents of The Islands have plenty of community events to attend, thanks to The Islands Community Association. Holiday celebrations like a boat parade bring the neighborhood together, while the community hosts concerts at Islands Park for outdoor fun on a warm night. For sports fans, spring training baseball comes to the area every year. The training facilities for the Oakland A’s, Chicago Cubs, and Los Angeles Angels are each less than a 15-minute drive from The Islands.
In the middle of the Chandler and Gilbert action
When it’s time to go out for a drink or a bite to eat, The Islands’ location lends it plenty of options. On a typical weekend, a resident might visit Boba Cutea Bubble Tea Cafe for a fun treat before heading across town to Chandler to visit DC Steakhouse. Just east of The Islands is Gilbert Town Square, with a variety of retail and entertainment options including a Regal Cinemas and a Bowlero. To catch a game and grab a nightcap, Catching Flights Bar and Grille is a local favorite with a stage for live music. Shopping centers with grocery stores such as Safeway flank the neighborhood, so essentials are never far.

Commuting to downtown Phoenix
20 miles from Phoenix, residents can easily commute from The Islands to downtown or anywhere across the area. “It’s very convenient to the 60 or the 101, which can get you anywhere you need to go in the East Valley,” says Moller. While the Valley Metro transportation system has stops on both the north and south side of the neighborhood, residents still drive their own cars for the vast majority of their transportation. For longer trips, American Airlines utilizes the local Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport as a hub, making it easier to travel across the country.
Bus service is available on the northern end of The Islands.
The Islands is located near several highways, giving access to the greater valley.
