University Manor is located in eastern Mesa, where desert views and a slower pace are part of the appeal. Many homebuyers are drawn to the neighborhood's comparatively low home prices, as well as its access to trails, recreation facilities and parks. With nearby shopping, dining and Loop 202 connections, daily life is convenient without feeling overly busy.
Housing includes a small number of multifamily properties, but most options are manufactured homes and single-family residences. You'll find late-20th-century ranch-style homes, often on relatively large lots, along with newer Spanish-style homes in suburban subdivisions. Houses typically sell from the upper $200,000s to the upper $600,000s. The median single-family sale price is around $340,000, which is below the citywide figure.
Manufactured homes on individually owned lots generally range from the low $200,000s to the low $400,000s. According to Lisa Sandoval, associate broker with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services and a Valley resident for more than 30 years, many manufactured homes are located in dedicated communities. “The communities often have amenities like pools and pickleball courts,” she says. “Some have dog parks too.” Sales in these areas often range from around $20,000 to the mid-$100,000s, and residents usually pay monthly lot rents of $600 to $1,000.
While some residents have access to recreation within their neighborhoods, there are also several ways to stay active close to home. Nearby options include:
There are several places to shop within a short drive. You can pick up groceries at Fry's or Safeway and find a variety of other goods at Tractor Supply Co. and Walmart Supercenter. For a larger shopping trip, Superstition Springs Center is about 5 miles away. The two-story indoor mall has dozens of stores, along with restaurants and a movie theater.
Dining options include both locally owned restaurants and familiar chains. Asi Es Mi Tierra serves Mexican dishes made from family recipes, while Mikey's Family Restaurant is a longtime diner known for comfort food. The Trough is a casual spot serving burgers and wings, with pool tables and TVs for watching sports.
Families are served by Mesa Public Schools. Some kids go to Taft Elementary School, which has a music education program and gifted services. Older students can attend Skyline High School, where they can take dual-enrollment courses through Mesa Community College. Arizona's open enrollment policy also allows students to apply to schools outside their designated attendance zones.
Most residents rely on cars to get around. Main Street provides a direct route to Downtown Mesa, about 10 miles west, while Apache Junction is less than 5 miles east. Nearby Loop 202 also makes it easier to reach destinations across the valley. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is about 25 miles away, and the drive typically takes between 25 and 45 minutes, depending on traffic.
