Home sweet, orange-scented home
The sweet scent of orange blossoms in early spring reveals the origin of this Arizona neighborhood’s name. Long known for its thriving fruit trees due to the state’s desert climate and abundant sunshine, Citrus is a residential Mesa suburb where oranges continue to flourish. “A lot of homes here come with orange trees, actually,” says local real estate agent Tyler Blair of Legacy Real Estate Team. But there’s more to Citrus than its namesake. “Everywhere you turn in Mesa, there’s something to do, and Citrus is no exception. It’s an established, family-centric neighborhood with a suburban feel that offers proximity to a variety of activities.”
Homes in the Citrus neighborhood have various amenity options, like homes with a pool.
Many home sit on cul-de-sacs and provide the benefit of less traffic.

Sprawling southwestern home styles
Spacious luxury homes on ample properties make up a majority of the subdivisions here, often with broad driveways and multi-car garages. Wide streets give way to Pueblo-style and Spanish Revival single-family homes. The distinct red tile roofs and stucco exteriors are framed by palm trees and desert shrubs – and heavy-laden orange trees ready for harvest – that accent the pebbled landscaping. “Most homes here were built in the 1960s and 1970s, though modern custom builds are becoming more common,” says Blair, a Mesa native. Gated communities with lofty estates are also an option for homebuyers, many of which come with manicured lawns and private pools, among other amenities that add to their eye-catching curb appeal. Homes in Citrus tend to be pricier compared to other neighborhoods in Mesa, with a median price tag of $1.25 million.
