The Villages of Green Valley
Private amenities and Green Valley Recreation perks
The Villages' private rec center offers a lounge and sports like pickleball, tennis and shuffleboard. The community pool is especially popular in summer, when temperatures regularly top 100 degrees. “The pool is in use from six in the morning until ten at night—I kid you not,” Lambert says. Members of Green Valley Recreation enjoy access to all of the organization’s rec centers around town. About 2 miles away, the Las Campanas Social Center offers a fitness center, swimming pool, racquetball and more.Residents and non-residents can hit the links at the 18-hole Haven Golf Course, which also offers lessons. Hiking’s also popular in Green Valley, and the area's many trails include the scenic, 10-mile Anza Recreation Trail, about 3 miles away.
Shopping and dining along La Canada Drive
The Villages of Green Valley is mostly residential, but there’s shopping and dining just outside the community along La Canada Drive. At the Sahuarita Palms Plaza, there's a Safeway for groceries, and small businesses include a nail salon, barbershop and a dry cleaner. Nearby, Mountain View Cafe and Bakery is the spot for a morning coffee or fresh pastry, like pies, cakes and fritters. About 2 miles down the street, Green Valley Village is a larger shopping plaza with a mix of national chains, restaurants and locally owned businesses, including several bookstores. For a drink, The 19th Hole Bar and Grille is a popular spot to enjoy a cold beer while watching the game; there’s also occasional live music and karaoke. On Wednesdays, locals can shop at the Green Valley Village Farmers & Artisans Market.

Spanish-inspired homes with lower prices than other Green Valley neighborhoods
All homes in The Villages of Green Valley were built between the late 20th century and 2020, and are part of the local homeowners association, whose monthly dues of about $20 to $150 go toward community upkeep. Lambert says there are a mix of full-time and seasonal residents here, some of whom occasionally rent out their homes. Compared to other Green Valley communities, like Green Valley Country Club Estates and Green Valley Country Club Vistas, renting is more common here and the median home price is lower.Set along sidewalk-lined streets, single-family ranch-style homes have Spanish- or Pueblo-inspired features, like desert-hued stucco exteriors, red clay-tiled roofs or adobe-style rounded corners. These two- to three-bedroom homes have layouts of 1,100 to 2,100 square feet and typically include attached garages and covered patios or porches. Gravel-packed lots range from 8,000 to 16,000 square feet and are peppered with desert flora like Saguaro and barrel cacti. Prices range from $200,000 to $450,000, depending on a home’s size and additional features like private pools. Townhomes are typically smaller, with two bedrooms in layouts of 800 to 1,600 square feet, and lots of 1,600 to 3,600 square feet. Prices range from about $175,000 to $300,000, depending on a townhome’s size.

In November, they have a turkey Thanksgiving-friendsgiving potluck,” Lambert says.

There are also occasional concerts and other live entertainment at the West Center Auditorium, 3 miles away.
