Superstition Springs
Renovated homes and gated condos built after the 1990s
The subdivisions that make up Superstition Springs are described as a “safe, friendly area to live in,” by licensed Real Estate Agent Vicky Hubbard with Homesmart. Many of the single-family homes in the area were constructed in the late 1990s into the early 2000s and have since undergone interior renovations that include new flooring and stainless-steel kitchen appliances among other upgrades. Homes often have open floor plans which allows easy access from the living room to the dining and kitchen areas. Your home will be the go-to place for parties throughout the summer with your private pool and shaded patio, all within a fenced-in backyard that allows for extra privacy. Condominium units are also available throughout Superstition Springs, many of which are in gated communities. Condos often feature modern appliances, spacious bedrooms and community amenities including a pool and designated parking spots. Home prices tend to vary throughout the community, with some homes starting in the mid $300,000 and ranging up to $600,000.
Southern end offers sports bars, pizza and casual dining

The expansive, indoor Superstition Springs Center features plenty of retail shopping, dining and entertainment options. Stores like Dillard’s, Macy’s and Burlington offer the latest and greatest fashion trends, and if you need new running shoes or a pair of shoes for an upcoming event you can head to Famous Footwear or Foot Locker. Grab a quick bite to eat from one of the many fast-food options available or sit down and enjoy a New York Steak and a strawberry cheesecake for dessert at The Cheesecake Factory, one of several restaurants in the mall. More dining options are available along Superstition Springs Boulevard, ranging from national chains to fast-food options for a meal on-the-go.

Two golf courses offer options for beginners and seasoned players
If you’d rather spend the day on the greens, book a tee time at Superstition Springs Golf Club. This 18-hole course that was once home to a PGA tour qualifying event features pristine Bermuda fairways, and strategic bunkers and water hazards that will provide a challenge for players of all skill levels. A staple in the community since its completion in 1970, the Desert Sands Golf Course’s short layout make for fast greens, and the flat terrain makes the course suitable for beginners as well.
