Panoramic mountain views are icing on the cake for residents of The Groves

The Groves is a highly sought-after suburban neighborhood in Mesa, Arizona with mountain views, stylish homes and abundant cultural resources. The Groves is so popular, in fact, that residents will often move to another home right in the neighborhood, if they need a larger or smaller house. But they will not leave The Groves. As Patty Bentley, long-time Realtor with Success Property Brokers and a native Phoenix resident explains, “The Groves is a tight-knit community. It’s friendly, welcoming and established. People know each other here and truly value the lives they’ve built.”

The Groves offers a variety of home styles, great schools, four parks and immediate access to the popular Eastern Canal Trail. Residents also enjoy views of The Superstition Mountains, a craggy, volcanic mountain range just east of Mesa that towers 6,000 feet above the Sonoran desert. Realtor Bently continues, “Buyers at different life stages all love The Groves, but for different reasons. From the sports scene and great schools, to outdoor attractions and the arts, there’s something “big” here that buyers want.”

Many ways to stay fit in Mesa

Four parks welcome residents of The Groves. Mountain View Park offers playgrounds with plenty of climbing structures. Walkers enjoy the Eastern Canal Trail, one of the area’s many paved trails that run alongside scenic canals. Baseball fans enjoy Hohokam Stadium, the spring training facility for the Oakland A’s. (great aerial shots in Neighborhood Video Clips) Realtor Bentley mentions popular weekend attractions that add to The Groves’ appeal, “Sedona is just 80 miles away, and one of the most popular weekend destinations. Skiers love Flagstaff, of course. And there are more than 200 golf courses in the area - we can’t forget that!”
