Unique custom homes and comfortable subdivision living in Gilberts
Refined custom homes and recently built new traditional homes sit along the residential lanes here, lending the area a shared appeal for suburban and eclectic tastes. Development in the area started in the late 1970s, with a few one-off homes popping up on selected lots. From the 1990s onward, more subdivisions and suburban stylings would emerge in the area. Custom property styles include everything from brick-lined Colonial Revival homes and French-influenced abodes with low roofs to rare contemporary ranch-style homes. While distinct in character, these are unified by their 1- to 2-acre lot sizes, lengthy driveways and manicured lawns. Homes in The Conservancy subdivision at the center of the community are more uniform in style, sharing a 21st century traditional look with brick elements and vinyl siding. Home values start at about $367,000 and can reach $765,000 or more. Open land listings in the area typically range from $35,000 to $85,000 for 1 to 2 acres. Some properties may have higher flooding risks, according to First Street’s Flood Factor index.
