Hastings Farms is a master-planned community with a playground, trails and views of the San Tan Mountains. Situated within one of the fastest-growing towns in Arizona, locals have a nearly endless array of amenities within a short drive of home, and the town is constantly growing.

Queen Creek overflows with family friendly entertainment and is known for its top-rated schools. Hastings Farms' low CAP Index Crime Score of 1 out of 10, versus the national average of 4, also appeals to homebuyers looking to set down roots.

The neighborhood's feeling, sounds and homes
The community is filled with one-to two-story Southwestern-style homes with energy-efficient features built from the 2010s to the 2020s. Prices typically range from the low $400,000s to well over $1 million, with luxury homes and gated properties fetching higher prices. Many yards are primed for outdoor relaxation with deep blue pools. Open green spaces sprawl between residential areas, creating a verdant neighborhood feel. Some homes are within the flight path of Mesa Gateway Airport, around 8 miles away. "[I often tell clients], we are going to stay here until a plane comes over, because you need to hear what this sounds like. If you're okay with that, it's no big deal," Bermudez says.

Sports parks, trails and nearby golfing keep locals active
The neighborhood has a playground, soccer field and basketball court. The Queen Creek Wash trail runs adjacent to Hastings Farms along the town's namesake creek. It was extended in 2024 to become an 11-mile loop used frequently by horseback riders. Part of the trail connects to Mountain Park, which has staging areas for horses. The largest and newest park near Queen Creek is Frontier Family Park, about 5 miles away. Like many area parks, it prioritizes sports by offering full-sized ball fields, several multi-purpose fields and sports courts. It also has an inclusive playground and a large fishing lake.

Tons of family friendly fun in the area
Bermudez says Queen Creek is the “new Scottsdale for families” due to its abundance of activities, and there’s a bounty to choose from within just 3 miles of Hastings Farms. Schnepf Farms has a petting zoo and hosts Christmas at the Farm in December, when it opens its ice skating rink. Pecan Lake Entertainment opened its initial phase in 2024. The venue’s signature rope course is a huge draw. Fat Cats is across from the venue with a bowling alley, movie theater and arcade.

Everything is convenient, but traffic can be bad
“You can get to anything you basically need in life within 10 to 15 minutes of your house, and that’s how the infrastructure is built out here," Bermudez says. "So it works nice on top of being close to a freeway system." However, traffic can be severe in the morning and evening, to the point of stand-stills. South Ellsworth Road runs along the neighborhood's western side and is a straight shot to Arizona State Route 24.
