Suburban neighborhood in a central Mesa location

Homebuyers looking for a convenient Mesa location often consider West Enders, a neighborhood in the city's northwestern corner. Its quick access to Loop 202 places much of the Phoenix metro area within reach, while Sloan Park and Hohokam Stadium make it a hub of activity during Major League Baseball spring training. Living here also keeps you close to green spaces and Mesa Riverview’s stores.

Finding a home in northwest Mesa

A few homes in the community date back to the early 1900s, but most were built in the 1970s and 1980s. Ranch-style houses are common, and some have carports or Mediterranean-inspired details such as stucco exteriors and terra-cotta tile roofs. Home prices typically range from the low $400,000s to the mid-$700,000s.

Along with single-family homes, the neighborhood includes a mix of condos, townhouses and apartment communities. Condos don't come on the market very often, but recent sales have closed in the upper $100,000s. Townhouses generally sell from the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$300,000s.

A short drive from Sloan Park and Hohokam Stadium

While many of Mesa's biggest events take place in and around downtown, spring training season shifts some of that attention closer to West Enders. Each February and March, baseball fans from around the country head to Sloan Park and Hohokam Stadium, just a few miles away, to watch the Chicago Cubs and Athletics play Cactus League games. “It's definitely known as the spring training area, and it really comes to life during that time,” says Aaron Carlson, a Realtor with Weichert, Realtors.

Mesa Riverview and other nearby shopping destinations

Along Country Club Drive, you'll find a few takeout spots and casual restaurants. One local favorite is Long Wong's, which is known for its chicken wings. For a wider selection, many residents head to Mesa Riverview, a shopping center just west of the neighborhood. “They have all the fast-food, retail plazas and shopping right there,” Carlson says. Popular destinations include Bass Pro Shops, In-N-Out Burger and Slick City Action Park, an indoor attraction with multiple slides.

Residents also spend time in Downtown Mesa, where independent boutiques, coffee shops, breweries and locally owned restaurants line Main Street. Another popular option is Tempe Marketplace, an open-air shopping center less than 5 miles away with major retailers and a variety of restaurants.

Taking Loop 202 to get around the valley

Valley Metro buses and a network of bike lanes and bike-friendly streets provide alternatives to driving, but most people still use a car to get around. Downtown Mesa is about 3 miles away and usually takes 5 to 10 minutes to reach, depending on traffic. With Loop 202 just a short drive north of the neighborhood, it's also relatively easy to get to other parts of the metro area. Tempe is about 5 miles away, and the trip typically ranges from 10 to 20 minutes during rush hour. The 15-mile drive to Phoenix often takes between 25 and 40 minutes.

Golf, playgrounds and waterside paths within a short distance

The community is close to several parks and recreation areas. The Mesa Country Club borders the neighborhood, and members can play the 18-hole golf course and use the tennis courts, fitness equipment and pool. Riverview Park, about a mile away, has a stocked fishing lake and a large playground with climbing structures and a splash pad. Multiuse paths along the Tempe Canal and Salt River are also nearby.
