Quiet East Mesa suburb
The University Manor community is located on the far Eastern side of Mesa, close to Apache Junction and just over 30 minutes from Downtown Phoenix. University Manor offers a more peaceful way to embrace the wild side of the desert lifestyle while still maintaining the convenience of being close enough for an easy commute thanks to the 202 loop. Removed from the noise of the nearby cities, University Manor residents can watch the sunrise along the vast Arizona desert and sunset on the jagged Phoenix skyline. The community is experiencing its own growth evidenced by the many new structures popping up as Mesa and its neighboring cities expand further into the flatter and less populous area stretching toward Apache Junction. “This area is definitely older and more affordable than the Gilbert area. It’s located close to the freeway (202 and Hwy 60) as well as a hospital, and draws a lot of working-class folks as well as retired individuals and couples looking for a similar life,” said Jason Crittenden, a real estate agent with Realty ONE Group. “You will find the homes range from the $100s to $300s, making it easier for some to get into a home versus perhaps Gilbert or Chandler or even East Mesa might offer.
